Install Kong Gateway Operator (KGO)
How do I install Kong Gateway Operator?
helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system --create-namespace \
--set env.ENABLE_CONTROLLER_KONNECT=true
Copied!
Optional: manage webhook certificates with cert-manager
If you want cert-manager to issue and rotate the admission and conversion webhook certificates, install cert-manager to your cluster and enable cert-manager integration when installing the chart:
helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system --create-namespace \
--set env.ENABLE_CONTROLLER_KONNECT=true \
--set global.webhooks.options.certManager.enabled=true
Copied!
If you do not enable this, the chart will generate and inject self-signed certificates automatically. This is fine for development; for production we recommend enabling cert-manager.
Can Kong Gateway Operator be installed with Kustomize or any other tools?
Helm is the only officially supported installation method.
How to I customize which controllers I want to run?
Create a values.yaml file and set a enable_controller_* value under env e.g. env.enable_controller_dataplane_bluegreen: false
