Organizations managing API gateways across multiple cloud environments face connectivity challenges, which Kong Mesh aims to address by enabling seamless cross-cloud interactions. This complexity often arises due to strategic decisions, regional regulations, or business needs that require distinct API visibility. To tackle these issues, Kong Mesh, built on OSS Kuma, facilitates cross-platform connectivity and global routing with features like Zone Ingress, which allows secure, automatic configuration for communication between services on different platforms. By incorporating API gateways into the mesh, companies can enhance connectivity and security using mTLS tunnels, enabling the use of public networking infrastructure for secure connections. Kong Mesh also simplifies service naming and routing through its federated architecture, making services easily accessible. The blog post highlights the example of a fictional company operating across Azure and Google Cloud, demonstrating how Kong Mesh enables efficient cross-cloud API access and routing, underscoring its potential to streamline multi-cloud strategies and improve API connectivity for organizations.
