Summary

Kong Mesh, built on Kuma, continues to enhance its capabilities with the release of version 2.11, offering improved simplicity and production-grade tooling for distributed applications. It supports seamless multi-zone operations across various environments like multiple cloud providers, Kubernetes clusters, and traditional servers while ensuring zero-trust security and efficient management with Konnect Mesh Manager. The latest update introduces Amazon ECS support with automated Route 53 configuration, reducing the need for cluster roles during mesh setup, and transitioning to an Embedded DNS to optimize resource consumption. It also offers experimental incremental configuration propagation to minimize CPU and memory usage, and expands policy support for MeshHTTPRoute, allowing more refined control over HTTP traffic with features like request timeouts, access logging, and retry logic. These enhancements aim to boost reliability, performance, and manageability for organizations deploying mission-critical services.
