Kong Gateway Enterprise and Amazon EKS Anywhere Bare Metal

Kong Gateway Enterprise and Amazon EKS Anywhere provide a robust platform for modernizing applications by supporting hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, crucial for workloads running on multiple platforms. This integration leverages the capabilities of Kubernetes, a de facto standard for modern application development, ensuring a uniform environment for application lifecycle management across on-premises and cloud infrastructures. Amazon EKS Anywhere extends Amazon EKS technology to multiple environments, including bare metal and VMware vSphere, while Kong Gateway Enterprise enhances this flexibility with features like architectural freedom and Kubernetes-native support. In a hybrid deployment, the Kong Control Plane operates in an AWS Cloud EKS cluster, administering APIs and policies, while Kong Data Planes operate across various environments, exposing services and microservices. The communication between control and data planes uses mTLS tunnels, ensuring secure API management and telemetry data exchange. This synergy allows organizations to seamlessly manage and deploy critical applications, utilizing AWS services for authentication and log processing, while supporting API policies through Kong's plugins.
