Enterprise License

Kong Gateway Operator can enable enterprise features using the KongLicense CRD.

1. Create a file named license.json containing your Kong Gateway Enterprise license.

2. Create a KongLicense object with the rawLicenseString field set to your license:

   echo "
   apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1alpha1
   kind: KongLicense
   metadata:
     name: kong-license
   rawLicenseString: '$(cat ./license.json)'
   " | kubectl apply -f -
   

3. Verify that Kong Ingress Controller is using the license:

   kubectl describe konglicense kong-license
   

   The results should look like this, including the Programmed condition with True status:

   Name:         kong-license
   Namespace:
   Labels:       <none>
   Annotations:  <none>
