Kong AI Gateway 2.0: Governance for Agentic AI Traffic
Blog post from Kong
Kong AI Gateway 2.0 has been launched in private beta, introducing a separate runtime and control plane designed specifically for AI workloads such as models, MCP servers, and agents, marking a significant departure from being a feature within the Kong API Gateway. This new version, which operates independently from the API gateway's conservative release schedule, caters to the rapidly evolving AI landscape by offering a dedicated runtime, an AI-focused admin API, and a revamped user experience in Konnect. It supports major AI providers and integrates seamlessly with existing GitOps workflows through kongctl, while ensuring current users of Kong Gateway can continue operating without disruption. The decoupling allows Kong AI Gateway to update quickly, adapting to new AI providers, policies, and primitives, with AI Gateway 2.1 already in progress for an August release, positioning it to keep pace with the fast-moving AI infrastructure landscape while the Kong Gateway maintains its stability-focused track.
