(Legacy) Kong Konnect Cloud

Kong's hosted control plane

This documentation is for the legacy Konnect environment at konnect.konghq.com. For the cloud.konghq.com environment, see the current Konnect documentation.

The Konnect Cloud docs provide information about how to manage and deploy Konnect using Kong’s hosted control plane.

Konnect Cloud control plane

Konnect lets you manage multiple runtimes from a single, cloud-based control plane, giving you an overview of all deployed services. You can deploy the runtimes in different environments, data centers, geographies, or zones without needing a local clustered database for each runtime group.

Using the Konnect Cloud docs

If using the Konnect Cloud control plane to manage your Konnect deployment, see the following topics to get started:

• Set up a Konnect Cloud account
• Using the Quickstart Guide:
  • Set up a runtime
  • Configure a Service and its first version
  • Implement the Service version
• Learn about ServiceHub and Runtime Manager
• Use the Dev Portal:
  • Set up the Dev Portal for a Service
  • Publish a Service version to the Dev Portal
  • Enable application registration
  • Manage developer registration
• Use Vitals to monitor the status of your Services
• Set up users and roles

Self-managed Konnect

If deploying Konnect in a self-managed environment, see the Kong Gateway docs.
