Overview

Kong Gateway is an open source API gateway built on nginx and OpenResty. It routes, secures and observes API traffic to microservices through a plugin architecture.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg preinstalls Kong backed by PostgreSQL and fronted by nginx, with an example service, route and key authentication plugin configured on first boot. A fresh database password and consumer API key are generated with no default login, backed by 24/7 support.
