Now, it’s time for another transformational leap: moving from a single set of containers to a highly available, orchestrated deployment of replica sets using Kubernetes.
Hello, everyone! Viktor Gamov, a developer advocate with Kong here. In this article, I would like to show you how to set up service connectivity using Kong Konnect and Kubernetes. I will deploy an application in Kubernetes, configure a runtime through Konnect and demonstrate some management capabilities like enabling plugins. Let’s dive right in!
MS3 specializes in enterprise integration software, cloud migration strategies and API enablement. I’ve worked at MS3 for about five years. For the last year, I’ve been the principal product manager for Tavros, an enterprise integration platform from MS3. This article will dive into how we’re leveraging Kong Gateway and Kuma service mesh in Tavros.

By default, pods within a cluster can communicate with all other pods and services. You should restrict access to anything outside of that group.
In our last Kong and Okta tutorial, we will implement a basic access control policy based on Okta’s groups and planes. This series will show you how to implement service authentication and authorization for Kong Konnect and Okta using the OpenID Connect (OIDC) plugin.
