Gloo Gateway Open Source now v0.14.2

Gloo Gateway is a next generation API Gateway built on top of Envoy Proxy. Gloo Gateway is available in both open source and enterprise versions depending on your requirements. This month we released new features to both versions. (Note: all open source features are available in the enterprise version)

The highlights of this release include:

  • Write virtual services with Kubernetes services as an alternative to using upstreams for users already familiar with Kubernetes. This addition is also part of our strategy to make Gloo even lighter weight than it is today.
  • For Enterprise, we’ve expanded our authn/authz support in response to customer feedback. They include support for external authn with jwt and support for authz with Kubernetes service account RBAC (read the Gloo Enterprise release here)
