Overview

Kong Gateway, the open source API gateway, preinstalled and ready to use with the PostgreSQL backend and an example route with key authentication generated on first boot. Backed by 24/7 cloudimg support.

Description

Kong Gateway is the leading open source API gateway and microservice management layer. This image delivers Kong fully installed and configured, backed by PostgreSQL on a dedicated data volume, with an example service, route and key authentication plugin wired up on first boot. The proxy listens on port 8000 (HTTP) and 8443 (HTTPS); nginx fronts the proxy on port 80 for out-of-the-box browser and curl access. The Admin API is bound to the loopback interface for security (Kong CE has no Admin API authentication).

Key Features

  • Kong Gateway preinstalled and ready, backed by PostgreSQL and fronted by nginx on port 80, with an example service, route and key authentication plugin wired up on first boot
  • Hardened first boot generates a fresh database password and consumer API key for every instance and stores them in a file only the root user can read
  • 24/7 technical support from cloudimg, with expert assistance for Kong deployment, route configuration, plugin setup and gateway upgrades
