Summary

Kong Enterprise 3.2 has been released, introducing enhancements aimed at improving the reliability and functionality of its API management solution in hybrid environments. Key features include the introduction of a "backup node" to mitigate issues between control and data planes, allowing data planes to retrieve configuration data from cloud storage in case of control plane failure. The release also includes latency-based steering using an exponentially weighted moving average for improved load balancing, and enhancements to Kong Manager, such as the ability to create key entities and export license reports directly from the UI. Additionally, it supports global sessions for OIDC and has achieved FIPS 140-2 compliance for all core components and first-party plugins. Updates have been made to plugin documentation for better clarity, and new features are designed to facilitate ease of use and improved performance in high-traffic scenarios.
