Create a Cloud Gateway Data Plane group configuration
Use the KonnectCloudGatewayDataPlaneGroupConfiguration resource to define autoscaling Data Plane groups and associate them with Cloud Gateway networks.
Prerequisites
Kong Konnect
If you don’t have a Konnect account, you can get started quickly with our onboarding wizard.
- The following Konnect items are required to complete this tutorial:
- Personal access token (PAT): Create a new personal access token by opening the Konnect PAT page and selecting Generate Token.
-
Set the personal access token as an environment variable:
export KONNECT_TOKEN='YOUR KONNECT TOKEN'Copied to clipboard!
Create a KonnectCloudGatewayDataPlaneGroupConfiguration
Use the KonnectCloudGatewayDataPlaneGroupConfiguration resource to configure data plane groups for a Dedicated Cloud Gateway. Only one configuration can exist per Control Plane.
Creating multiple configurations will result in overwriting the previous one. Each Dedicated Cloud Gateway supports only a single DataPlaneGroupConfiguration.

Since creating a Data Plane Group Configuration can take some time, you can monitor its status by checking the dataplane_groups field. Data Plane Group Configurations receive this field when they are successfully provisioned in Konnect.
kubectl get -n kong konnectcloudgatewaydataplanegroupconfiguration.konnect.konghq.com eu-west-1 -o=jsonpath='{.status.dataplane_groups}' | yq -p json
Validation
Check that Programmed is True on the konnect-cg-dpconf resource:
You can verify the KonnectCloudGatewayDataPlaneGroupConfiguration was reconciled successfully by checking its Programmed condition.
kubectl get -n kong konnectcloudgatewaydataplanegroupconfiguration konnect-cg-dpconf \
-o=jsonpath='{.status.conditions[?(@.type=="Programmed")]}' | jq
The output should look similar to this:
{
"observedGeneration": 1,
"reason": "Programmed",
"status": "True",
"type": "Programmed"
}
