Deploying Kong Mesh with Konnect on AWS ECS

The blog provides a detailed guide for deploying and configuring Kong Mesh with Kong Konnect on an AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) instance, aiming to set up a pre-production installation of Kong Mesh. Kong Konnect is described as a cloud-native API lifecycle management platform that offers both self-hosted and managed data plane options. Kong Mesh, built on Kuma and Envoy, offers enterprise-grade service mesh capabilities including service connectivity, security, reliability, and observability, and can be deployed using Kubernetes or VMs. The guide focuses on deploying Kong Mesh in Universal mode on AWS ECS, bypassing the complexities of Kubernetes, and provides instructions for setting up the necessary infrastructure using AWS CloudFormation, including creating a VPC, configuring TLS certificates, and deploying the Kong Mesh control plane and ingress. It concludes with the deployment of a demo application, the Counter app, and suggests exploring further functionalities in Konnect.
