Gateway Configuration

Kong Gateway Operator provides a GatewayConfiguration CRD to customise the deployment of both ControlPlane and DataPlane resources.

These customizations are primarily used to set the container image and any environment variables that are required by the containers.

Here is an example of the GatewayConfiguration that provides an enterprise license for Kong Gateway.
