Custom Resource Definitions API Reference

Packages

configuration.konghq.com/v1

Package v1 contains API Schema definitions for the konghq.com v1 API group.

KongClusterPlugin

KongClusterPlugin is the Schema for the kongclusterplugins API.

The only differences between KongPlugin and KongClusterPlugin are that KongClusterPlugin is a Kubernetes cluster-level resource instead of a namespaced resource, and can be applied as a global plugin using global label.

Field Description
apiVersion string configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind string KongClusterPlugin
metadata ObjectMeta Refer to Kubernetes API documentation for fields of metadata.
consumerRef string ConsumerRef is a reference to a particular consumer.
disabled boolean Disabled set if the plugin is disabled or not.
config JSON Config contains the plugin configuration. It’s a list of keys and values required to configure the plugin. Please read the documentation of the plugin being configured to set values in here. For any plugin in Kong, anything that goes in the config JSON key in the Admin API request, goes into this property. Only one of config or configFrom may be used in a KongClusterPlugin, not both at once.
configFrom NamespacedConfigSource ConfigFrom references a secret containing the plugin configuration. This should be used when the plugin configuration contains sensitive information, such as AWS credentials in the Lambda plugin or the client secret in the OIDC plugin. Only one of config or configFrom may be used in a KongClusterPlugin, not both at once.
plugin string PluginName is the name of the plugin to which to apply the config.
run_on string RunOn configures the plugin to run on the first or the second or both nodes in case of a service mesh deployment.
protocols KongProtocol array Protocols configures plugin to run on requests received on specific protocols.
ordering PluginOrdering Ordering overrides the normal plugin execution order. It’s only available on Kong Gateway Enterprise. <phase> is a request processing phase (for example, access or body_filter) and <plugin> is the name of the plugin that will run before or after the KongPlugin. For example, a KongPlugin with plugin: rate-limiting and before.access: ["key-auth"] will create a rate limiting plugin that limits requests before they are authenticated.

KongConsumer

KongConsumer is the Schema for the kongconsumers API.

When this resource is created, a corresponding consumer entity will be created in Kong. While KongConsumer exists in a specific Kubernetes namespace, KongConsumers from all namespaces are combined into a single Kong configuration, and no KongConsumers with the same kubernetes.io/ingress.class may share the same Username or CustomID value.

Field Description
apiVersion string configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind string KongConsumer
metadata ObjectMeta Refer to Kubernetes API documentation for fields of metadata.
username string Username is a Kong cluster-unique username of the consumer.
custom_id string CustomID is a Kong cluster-unique existing ID for the consumer - useful for mapping Kong with users in your existing database.
credentials string array Credentials are references to secrets containing a credential to be provisioned in Kong.

KongIngress

KongIngress is the Schema for the kongingresses API.

It serves as an “extension” to Ingress resource. It is not meant as a replacement to the Ingress resource in Kubernetes. The Ingress resource spec in Kubernetes can define routing policies based on HTTP Host header and paths. While this is sufficient in most cases, sometimes, users may want more control over routing at the Ingress level. Once a KongIngress resource is created, it needs to be associated with an Ingress or Service resource using the konghq.com/override annotation.

KongIngress is not supported on Gateway APIs resources, such as HTTPRoute and TCPRoute. These resources must use annotations.

As of version 2.8, KongIngress sections other than upstream are deprecated. All settings in the proxy and route sections are now available with dedicated annotations, and these annotations will become the only means of configuring those settings in a future release. For example, if you had set proxy.connect_timeout: 30000 in a KongIngress and applied an konghq.com/override annotation for that KongIngress to a Service, you will need to instead apply a konghq.com/connect-timeout: 30000 annotation to the Service.

Plans are to replace the upstream section of KongIngress with a new resource, but this is still in development and upstream is not yet officially deprecated.

Field Description
apiVersion string configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind string KongIngress
metadata ObjectMeta Refer to Kubernetes API documentation for fields of metadata.
upstream KongIngressUpstream Upstream represents a virtual hostname and can be used to loadbalance incoming requests over multiple targets (e.g. Kubernetes Services can be a target, OR Endpoints can be targets).
proxy KongIngressService Proxy defines additional connection options for the routes to be configured in the Kong Gateway, e.g. connection_timeout, retries, etc.
route KongIngressRoute Route define rules to match client requests. Each Route is associated with a Service, and a Service may have multiple Routes associated to it.

KongPlugin

KongPlugin is the Schema for the kongplugins API.

Plugins can be associated with the Ingress, Service, HTTPRoute, KongConsumer or KongConsumerGroup object in Kubernetes using konghq.com/plugins annotation.

Field Description
apiVersion string configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind string KongPlugin
metadata ObjectMeta Refer to Kubernetes API documentation for fields of metadata.
consumerRef string ConsumerRef is a reference to a particular consumer.
disabled boolean Disabled set if the plugin is disabled or not.
config JSON Config contains the plugin configuration. It’s a list of keys and values required to configure the plugin. Please read the documentation of the plugin being configured to set values in here. For any plugin in Kong, anything that goes in the config JSON key in the Admin API request, goes into this property. Only one of config or configFrom may be used in a KongPlugin, not both at once.
configFrom ConfigSource ConfigFrom references a secret containing the plugin configuration. This should be used when the plugin configuration contains sensitive information, such as AWS credentials in the Lambda plugin or the client secret in the OIDC plugin. Only one of config or configFrom may be used in a KongPlugin, not both at once.
plugin string PluginName is the name of the plugin to which to apply the config.
run_on string RunOn configures the plugin to run on the first or the second or both nodes in case of a service mesh deployment.
protocols KongProtocol array Protocols configures plugin to run on requests received on specific protocols.
ordering PluginOrdering Ordering overrides the normal plugin execution order. It’s only available on Kong Gateway Enterprise. <phase> is a request processing phase (for example, access or body_filter) and <plugin> is the name of the plugin that will run before or after the KongPlugin. For example, a KongPlugin with plugin: rate-limiting and before.access: ["key-auth"] will create a rate limiting plugin that limits requests before they are authenticated.

IngressBackend

IngressBackend describes all endpoints for a given service and port.

Field Description
serviceName string Specifies the name of the referenced service.
servicePort integer Specifies the port of the referenced service.

Appears in:

IngressRule

IngressRule represents a rule to apply against incoming requests. Matching is performed based on an (optional) SNI and port.

Field Description
host string Host is the fully qualified domain name of a network host, as defined by RFC 3986. If a Host is not specified, then port-based TCP routing is performed. Kong doesn’t care about the content of the TCP stream in this case. If a Host is specified, the protocol must be TLS over TCP. A plain-text TCP request cannot be routed based on Host. It can only be routed based on Port.
port integer Port is the port on which to accept TCP or TLS over TCP sessions and route. It is a required field. If a Host is not specified, the requested are routed based only on Port.
backend IngressBackend Backend defines the referenced service endpoint to which the traffic will be forwarded to.

Appears in:

IngressTLS

IngressTLS describes the transport layer security.

Field Description
hosts string array Hosts are a list of hosts included in the TLS certificate. The values in this list must match the name/s used in the tlsSecret. Defaults to the wildcard host setting for the loadbalancer controller fulfilling this Ingress, if left unspecified.

Appears in:

TCPIngressSpec

TCPIngressSpec defines the desired state of TCPIngress.

Field Description
rules IngressRule array A list of rules used to configure the Ingress.
tls IngressTLS array TLS configuration. This is similar to the tls section in the Ingress resource in networking.v1beta1 group. The mapping of SNIs to TLS cert-key pair defined here will be used for HTTP Ingress rules as well. Once can define the mapping in this resource or the original Ingress resource, both have the same effect.

Appears in:

UDPIngressRule

UDPIngressRule represents a rule to apply against incoming requests wherein no Host matching is available for request routing, only the port is used to match requests.

Field Description
port integer Port indicates the port for the Kong proxy to accept incoming traffic on, which will then be routed to the service Backend.
backend IngressBackend Backend defines the Kubernetes service which accepts traffic from the listening Port defined above.

Appears in:

UDPIngressSpec

UDPIngressSpec defines the desired state of UDPIngress.

Field Description
rules UDPIngressRule array A list of rules used to configure the Ingress.
