Kong Ingress Controller

What Kong Ingress Controller is

Kong Ingress Controller is free Linux software for managing Kubernetes ingress. It supports both listed ingress API models and both listed deployment models, allowing teams to evaluate either option for their environment. The controller includes TLS automation for certificate handling, rate limiting for request control, and authentication policies for access management. These functions address common requirements when directing traffic to services through Kubernetes ingress. A free plan is listed, so no paid tier is required according to the supplied details. Linux is the stated platform, making it the environment to consider for deployment. Teams can review whether its API model, deployment model, and included controls match their Kubernetes setup. The product information is provided through Kong’s Kubernetes Ingress Controller website, which serves as the next point for examining configuration and fit.
