Kong Konnect API Cloud Platform offers robust support for Hybrid deployments, enabling distributed API Gateway Clusters across multiple environments simultaneously, with a distinct separation of Control Plane (CP) and Data Plane (DP) functionalities. The platform provides numerous features including Kong Gateway Enterprise modules and plugins that enhance its functionality, a RESTful Admin API for configuration, and a Kong Dev Portal for developer onboarding and API management. Additionally, Kong Immunity uses machine learning for real-time anomaly detection to enhance security, and Kong Manager provides a GUI for managing routes, services, and plugins. Kong's plug-in architecture supports integration with AWS platforms such as EC2, EKS, and Lambda, and facilitates API lifecycle processes with AWS DevOps services. Moreover, Amazon ECS Anywhere (ECS-A) extends ECS capabilities, enabling Hybrid deployments by allowing ECS tasks to be deployed in any environment, and a reference architecture for implementing a Distributed API Gateway with ECS-A is explored. The infrastructure utilizes AWS Secrets Manager for secure storage of key files and supports enhanced API management with Kong Konnect's extensive plugins, making it easier to run services across multiple platforms.
