0.7.1 - 2020/01/31
This releases contains bug-fixes only. All users are advised to upgrade.
- De-duplicate SNIs when the same SNI is associated with multiple secrets. #510
plugin.RunOn
is not injected when Kong version >= 2.0.0. #521- Parse default backend in
Ingress
resource correctly. #511 - KongPlugin resources with
global: true
label are correctly processed to includeprotocols
fields while rendering Kong's configuration. #502 - Admission Controller: correctly process updates to
KongConsumer
resource #501 - Do not send multiple update events for a single CRD update #514
0.7.0 - 2020/01/06
This release adds secret-based credentials, gRPC routing, upstream mutual authentication, DB-less deployment by default and performance improvements.
- The default value of
--admission-webhook-listen
flag is nowoff
to avoid an error in the logs when the cert and key pair is not provided. Users will have to explicitly set this flag to:8080
to enable it. Please do note that it is recommended to always set up the Admission Controller.
- Multi-port services Ingress rules forwarding traffic to multiple ports of the same services are now supported. The names of the services configured in Kong have been changed to include the port number/name for uniqueness. #404
- When using the controller with Kong Enterprise,
Controller now attempts to create the workspace configured via
--kong-workspace
, if it does not exist. #429 - Controller configuration revamped Configuration of the controller itself can now be tweaked via environment flags and CLI flags, both. Environment variables and Secrets can be used to pass sensitive information to the controller. #436
- Encrypted credentials via Secrets Credentials can now be configured via
Secret
resource from the Kubernetes core API. These credentials are encrypted at rest by Kubernetes. The controller loads these secrets into Kong's memory or database from the Kubernetes data-store. #430 - Multi-entity plugins Plugins can now be configured for a combination of an Ingress rule(s) and KongConsumer or a combination of a Service and KongConsumer. #386
- Mutual authentication using mTLS Kong and the Kubernetes Service can
mutually authenticate each other now. Use the new
configuration.konghq.com/client-cert
annotation on a Kubernetes Service to specify the cert-key pair Kong should use to authenticate itself. #483 - gRPC routing Kong Ingress Controller can now expose and proxy gRPC protocol based services, in addition to HTTP-based services. These can be configured using the core Ingress resource itself. #454
- Performance improvement Number of sync calls to Kong, in both DB and DB-less mode, should be reduced by an order of magnitude for most deployments. This will also improve Kong's performance. #484
credentials
property has been added to theKongConsumer
Custom Resource. This property holds the references to the secrets containing the credentials. #430- Flag
--kong-admin-filter-tag
has been added to change the tag used to filter and managed entity in Kong's database. This defaults tomanaged-by-ingress-controller
. #440 - Flag
--kong-admin-concurrency
has been added to control the number of concurrent requests between the controller and Kong's Admin API. This defaults to10
. #481 - Flag
--kong-admin-token
has been added to supply the RBAC token for the Admin API for Kong Enterprise deployments. #489 - Admission Controller now validates Secret-based credentials. It ensures that the required fields are set in the secret and the credential type is a valid one. #446
http2
is now enabled by default on the TLS port. #456- DB-less or the in-memory mode is now the new default in the reference manifests. It is recommended to run Kong without a database for Ingress Controller deployments. #456
upstream.host_header
property has been added to theKongIngress
Custom Resource. This property can be used to change thehost
header in every request that is sent to the upstream service. #478
- Every event in the queue is not logged anymore as it can leak sensitive information in the logs. Thanks to @goober for the report. #439
- For database deployments,
upstream
entity are now created withround-robin
as defaultalgorithm
to avoid false positives during a sync operation. These false positives can have a negative impact on Kong's performance. #480
KongCredential
Custom Resource is now deprecated and will be remove in a future release. Instead, please use Secret-based credentials. #430:- Following flags have been deprecated and new ones have been added in place
#436:
--kong-url
, instead use--kong-admin-url
--admin-tls-skip-verify
, instead use--kong-admin-tls-skip-verify
--admin-header
, instead use--kong-admin-header
--admin-tls-server-name
, instead use--kong-admin-tls-server-name
--admin-ca-cert-file
, instead use--kong-admin-ca-cert-file
- decK has been bumped up to v0.6.2.
0.6.2 - 2019/11/13
This is a minor patch release to fix version parsing issue with new Kong Enterprise packages.
0.6.1 - 2019/10/09
This is a minor patch release to update Kong Ingress Controller's Docker image to use a non-root by default.
0.6.0 - 2019/09/17
This release introduces an Admission Controller for CRDs,
Istio compatibility, support for networking/ingress
,
Kong 1.3 additions and enhancements to documentation and deployments.
- Service Mesh integration Kong Ingress Controller can now be deployed alongside Service Mesh solutions like Kuma and Istio. In such a deployment, Kong handles all the external client facing routing and policies while the mesh takes care of these aspects for internal service-to-service traffic.
ingress.kubernetes.io/service-upstream
, a new annotation has been introduced. Adding this annotation to a Kubernetes service resource will result in Kong directly forwarding traffic to kube-proxy. In other words, Kong will not send traffic directly to the pods. #365- Ingress resources created in the new
networking.k8s.io
API group are now be supported. The controller dynamically figures out the API group to use based on the metadata it receives from k8s API-server. - Kong Credential enhancements
- Admission controller Kong Ingress Controller now ships with an in-built admission controller for KongPlugin and KongConsumer entities. The validations stop users from misconfiguring the Ingress controller. #372
- Kong 1.3 support:
- HTTP Header based routing is now supported using
KongIngress.Route.Headers
property. - The algorithm to use for load-balancing traffic sent upstream can be
set using
KongIngress.Upstream.Algorithm
field.
- HTTP Header based routing is now supported using
- Kustomize: Users can now use
kustomize
to tweak the reference deployment as per their needs. Both, DB and DB-less modes are supported. Please have a look atdeploy/manifests
directory in the Github repository. - Documentation: The documentation for the project has been revamped. Deployment guides, how-to guides, and reference docs have been added.
- Deployment: The deployment of Kong Ingress Controller in DB and DB-less modes has been simplified, and Kong Ingress Controller now always runs as a side-car to Kong in proxy mode. There is no dedicated deployment for Kong Ingress Controller that needs to be run.
- SNIs and Certificates are now de-duplicated across namespaces. #360 #327
- Empty TLS secret no longer stops the controller from syncing configuration #321
- Fix a nil reference when empty Ingress rules are created #365
- Kubernetes client-go library has been updated to v1.15.3.
- Credentials sync has been moved into decK and decK has been bumped up to v0.5.1.
0.5.0 - 2019/06/25
This release introduces automated TLS certificates, consumer-level plugins, enabling deployments using controller and Kong's Admin API at the same time and numerous bug-fixes and enhancements.
- UUID of consumers in Kong are no longer associated with UID of KongConsumer custom resource.
- Kong 1.2 is now supported, meaning wild-card hosts in TLS section of Ingress resources are allowed.
- Automated TLS certificates using Let's Encrypt: Use Kong's Ingress Controller and cert-manager to automatically provision TLS certs and serve them.
- Tagging support: All entities managed by Kong Ingress Controller in Kong's database are now tagged and the controller manages only a subset of Kong's configuration. Any entity created via Kong's Admin API will not be automatically deleted by the Ingress Controller.
- Consumer-level plugins can now be configured by applying
plugins.konghq.com
annotation on KongConsumer custom resources. #250 - Kong Enterprise workspaces: Ingress Controller can manage a specific workspace inside Kong Enterprise (previously, only default workspace).
- Avoid reloading configuration in Kong in db-less mode when there is no change in configuration. #308
- Service scoped plugins for Kong 1.1 are now configured correctly. #289
- Multiple certificates are now correctly populated in Kong. #285
- Missing entities like certificate secrets, services or plugins in Kubernetes object store will not stop controller from syncing configuration to Kong.
- A Ingress rule with an empty path is correctly parsed and populated in Kong. #98
- Plugins with a nested schema are now correctly configured. #294
- Dependency management for the project is done using Go modules.
- Kubernetes client-go library has been updated to v1.14.1.
- Makefile and Dockerfiles have been simplified.
0.4.0 - 2019/04/24

CLI flag is now removed. The default service will now be picked up from the default backend in the Ingress rules.⚠️ Service and Upstream entity overrides via KongIngress CRD are now supported only withconfiguration.konghq.com
annotation on Kubernetes services. Route level overrides work same as before, using theconfiguration.konghq.com
annotation on Ingress resources.⚠️ strip_path
property of Routes in Kong is set totrue
by default.⚠️ preserve_host
property of Routes in Kong is set totrue
by default.- Plugins created for a combination of Route and Consumer using
consumerRef
property in KongPlugin CRD are not supported anymore. This functionality will be added back in future via #250. - Service and upstream Host name have changed from
namespace.service-name.port
toservice-name.namespace.svc
.
