Kong and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have strengthened their partnership, with Kong introducing new contributions to the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) via the EKS Blueprints for Terraform framework and launching two new workshops. These workshops, focused on Kong Konnect and Kong Mesh, aim to demonstrate the integration of Kong's SaaS Control Plane with Amazon EKS, covering use cases such as caching, authentication, and rate limiting, among others. The Kong Mesh AWS workshop introduces concepts like mTLS communication, traffic permissions, and canary releases to enhance AWS ecosystems. Additionally, Kong has announced new Konnect AddOns for deploying Kong Gateway and Kong Ingress Controller using Terraform, streamlining infrastructure management and deployment. These efforts highlight a commitment to providing scalable, secure, and efficient solutions for managing complex infrastructures, with workshops and resources available to facilitate easy adoption and implementation.
