Event Hooks is a new Kong Enterprise feature launched in the Kong Gateway 2.5 Release. This feature sends you notifications when certain events happen on your Kong Gateway deployment. Kong Gateway listens for events, like routes, services, consumers, certificates, plugins, workspaces and RBAC roles created, updated or removed. You can also create or extend Kong Plugins and add the Event Hooks functionality for custom use cases.
In part 1 of this series on Kubernetes, we discussed how companies like VMware offer the necessary tools to launch, monitor, create and destroy virtual machines. In this post, we review how – much like virtual machines – containers need to be created, monitored, destroyed and relaunched to account for the health of the physical or virtual machines on which they run.
In the last blog post, we discussed the need for both speed and quality for your API delivery and how APIOps can help achieve both. In this part of our blog post series, we’ll walk through what the API lifecycle looks like when following APIOps. We’re still following the best practice we’ve established in the industry over the years, but what you’re going to see is that the processes we follow at each step of the API lifecycle – and between each step – have changed.
In part 1 of this series, we started a journey from the planet-spanning infrastructure layer to what happens inside a single Kong worker, similar to an office building in complexity. In this second part, we’ll dive a bit deeper—we’ll see who the occupants of that office building are and the kind of life they live.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce the general availability of Kong Ingress Controller 2.0 (KIC) – the most robust, scalable, and extensible version of our Kubernetes Ingress Controller to date. This is a major milestone both for the KIC product as well as for the Kong community as a whole. In addition to KIC 2.0’s new features, it also sets the foundation for us to more rapidly improve the user experience and add more capabilities.
Today, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and microservices are the de-facto standard for building and connecting modern applications. APIs are no longer just a delivery mechanism but have become the product itself. API lifecycle management refers to the comprehensive, step-by-step process of planning, developing, implementing, testing, and versioning an API.
