Next, apply the KongPlugin resource by annotating the KongConsumerGroup resource:

kubectl annotate -n kong  CONSUMERGROUP_NAME konghq.com/plugins=proxy-cache-advanced

Prerequisite: Configure your Personal Access Token

terraform {
  required_providers {
    konnect = {
      source  = "kong/konnect"
    }
  }
}

provider "konnect" {
  personal_access_token = "$KONNECT_TOKEN"
  server_url            = "https://us.api.konghq.com/"
}

Add the following to your Terraform configuration to create a Konnect Gateway Plugin:

resource "konnect_gateway_plugin_proxy_cache_advanced" "my_proxy_cache_advanced" {
  enabled = true

  config = {
    response_code = [200]
    request_method = ["GET"]
    content_type = ["text/plain", "application/json"]
    cache_ttl = 300
    strategy = "redis"

    redis = {
      host = "redis"
      port = 6379
      keepalive_pool_size = 50
    }
  }

  control_plane_id = konnect_gateway_control_plane.my_konnect_cp.id
  consumer_group = {
    id = konnect_gateway_consumer_group.my_consumer_group.id
  }
}
