Summary

Beta support for Mesh Manager in the Konnect Terraform Provider introduces infrastructure-as-code capabilities to Kong's Service Mesh management platform by allowing engineering teams to manage Konnect Mesh resources using HashiCorp Terraform. Terraform, a tool developed by HashiCorp, enables users to define and manage infrastructure through a declarative language, facilitating consistent and repeatable deployments across various service providers. Providers in Terraform serve as plugins that interface with APIs, allowing management of diverse infrastructure components. The new Konnect Mesh Manager Provider allows users to codify mesh infrastructure, enhancing version control, auditing, and collaboration. Additionally, there is a separate beta provider for managing the on-prem version of Kong Mesh. Feedback is encouraged to further improve the provider's functionality and stability.
