Dedicated Cloud Gateways are Data Plane nodes that are fully managed by Kong in Konnect. Each Dedicated Cloud Gateway runs on isolated infrastructure within Kong-managed environments in AWS, Azure, or GCP — offering the performance and security of dedicated infrastructure with the operational ease of SaaS.
With Dedicated Cloud Gateways, you don’t need to host any Data Planes, and you maintain control over the size and location of the Gateway infrastructure. This allows Kong to autoscale your nodes for you and reduces your operational complexity.
Behind the scenes, every Konnect Dedicated Cloud Gateway runs in an individual single-tenant cloud environment, ensuring consistent performance, tenant isolation, and strong security boundaries. The Konnect Control Plane remains multi-tenant.
Benefits of Dedicated Cloud Gateways:
- Konnect handles Gateway upgrades for you.
- Choose between public and private networking modes.
- Automatic scaling with Autopilot mode.
- Support for AWS, Azure, and GCP in multiple regions.
You can manage your Dedicated Cloud Gateway nodes in Gateway Manager.
Networking

Dedicated Cloud Gateways support both public and private networking on AWS. Private networking provides enhanced security by restricting API exposure.
Private hosted zones
Enable private DNS resolution for your Dedicated Cloud Gateway using either a private hosted zone or an Outbound DNS Resolver.
Azure VNet peering
Konnect can leverage Azure Virtual Network peering to create virtual networks, ingest data from your Azure services, and expose them to the internet via Konnect.
GCP VPC peering
Konnect can leverage Google Cloud VPC network peering to create virtual networks, ingest data from your GCP services, and expose them to the internet via Konnect.
