Today, we’re thrilled to release Kuma 0.3, our open source control plane with brand new traffic routing capabilities. Kuma’s new L4 traffic routing rules allow you to easily implement blue/green deployments and canary releases.

We announced the release of Kuma – a modern, universal control plane for service mesh back in September 2019. Since then, a roaring wave of community feedback and contribution has flooded the project. And that’s a good thing, so thank you to everyone who has given their time to helping Kuma grow. One recurring feedback we got was that the community was excited to see a platform-agnostic service mesh.

Corporations are diverse. Consequently, the software needed to support business units tends to vary. In fact, more than eight out of 10 corporations now run multiple cloud solutions, according to Forrester Research.

In this new environment, one challenge is managing the different cloud solutions.
