Gateway API

The following table presents the compatibility of Kong Operator with specific Gateway API versions. As Kong Operator implements Gateway API features using the upstream project, which defines its own compatibility declarations, the expected compatibility of Gateway API features might be limited to those.

kubernetes-configuration CRDs

Starting with 1.5, Kong Operator works with kubernetes-configuration CRDs. These CRDs are backwards compatible with CRDs from gateway-operator 1.4 and older unless stated otherwise in the release notes in kuberentes-configuration CHANGELOG.md.

Older versions of Kong Operator used gateway-operator CRDs, packaged with the operator helm chart.
