Enterprise License

Kong Ingress Controller can manage Kong Gateway Enterprise instances. This guide explains how to apply an enterprise license to running Gateways.

Applying a static license

1. Create a file named license.json containing your Kong Gateway Enterprise license and store it in a Kubernetes secret:

    kubectl create namespace kong
    kubectl create secret generic kong-enterprise-license --from-file=license=./license.json -n kong
   

2. Create a values.yaml file:

    gateway:
      image:
        repository: kong/kong-gateway
      env:
        LICENSE_DATA:
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: kong-enterprise-license
              key: license
   

3. Install Kong Ingress Controller and Kong Gateway with Helm:

    helm upgrade --install kong kong/ingress -n kong --create-namespace --values ./values.yaml
