Managing Kong with Terraform

Kong Konnect, a next-generation API management platform, enhances the declarative configuration capabilities of Kong Gateway through tools like decK and now terraform-provider-konnect, which has become generally available. While decK remains a strategic tool for managing Kong Gateway configurations, the new Terraform provider allows users to manage a broader range of entities at the Konnect level, aligning with existing infrastructure practices and facilitating GitOps. This integration supports API Product owners in configuring APIs and Developer Portals declaratively, operating at scale, and utilizing familiar tools like Terraform, which has already been widely adopted by users. Additionally, a beta release of terraform-provider-kong-gateway is available for on-prem users, ensuring that both cloud and on-prem deployments can benefit from Terraform's capabilities. Kong aims to simplify infrastructure management and configuration through these integrations, encouraging users to engage with their GitHub community for feedback and collaboration.
