href="https://cloud.konghq.com/gateway-manager" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer ">Gateway Manager</a> is a Kong Konnect functionality module that lets you catalog, connect to, and monitor the status of all control planes (CP) and data plane nodes (DPs) in one place, as well as manage control plane configuration.</p> <p>The Gateway Manager overview page displays a list of control planes currently owned by the organization. From here, you can add or delete control planes, or go into each individual control plane to manage data plane nodes and their global configuration.</p> <p><img src="/assets/images/products/konnect/gateway-manager/konnect-control-plane-dashboard.png" alt="gateway manager dashboard"></p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Figure 1:</strong> Example Gateway Manager dashboard with several control planes, including the</em> <em>default control plane, a KIC control plane, and control planes for development and production.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>With Konnect hosting the control plane, a data plane node doesn’t need a database to store configuration data. Instead, configuration is stored in-memory on each node, and you can easily update all data plane nodes in a control plane with a few clicks. This model applies whether the nodes are managed on-premise, in cloud-hosted environments, or through our fully managed SaaS offering with <a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/dedicated-cloud-gateways">Dedicated Cloud Gateways</a> or <a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/serverless-gateways">Serverless Gateways</a>.</p> <p>The Gateway Manager, and the Kong Konnect application as a whole, does not have access or visibility into the data flowing through your data plane nodes, and it does not store any data except the state and connection details for each node.</p> <h2 id="control-planes">Control planes</h2> <p>Konnect manages data plane configuration via control planes.</p> <p>Control planes come in three types:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="#kong-gateway-control-planes"><strong>Kong Gateway control plane</strong></a>: A collection of Kong Gateway data plane nodes sharing the same configuration and behavior space. Each control plane manages configurations independently.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="#control-plane-groups"><strong>Control plane group</strong></a>: A type of control plane that manages central data plane nodes for multiple control planes. It collects configuration from its member control planes and applies the aggregate config to a group of nodes.</p> <p>This means that teams within a group share a cluster of Kong Gateway data plane nodes, where each team has its own segregated configuration.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/kic/"><strong>Kong Ingress Controller</strong></a> Monitor the configuration of Kubernetes-based Kong Gateway data plane nodes.</p> </li> </ul> <p>You can find a list of all control planes in your organization on the <a href="https://cloud.konghq.com/gateway-manager/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer ">Gateway Manager overview</a>.</p> <p>Access to each control plane is configurable on a team-by-team basis using entity-specific permissions. For more information, see <a href="/konnect/org-management/teams-and-roles/">Administer teams</a>.</p> <h3 id="kong-gateway-control-planes">Kong Gateway control planes</h3> <p>Every region in every organization starts with one default control plane. With Konnect you can configure additional Kong Gateway control planes, each of which will have isolated configuration. Use multiple control planes in one Konnect organization to manage data plane nodes and their configuration in any groupings you want.</p> <p>Some common use cases for using multiple control planes include:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Environment separation:</strong> Split environments based on their purpose, such as development, staging, and production.</li> <li> <strong>Region separation:</strong> Assign each control plane to a region or group of regions. Spin up data plane nodes in those regions for each control plane.</li> <li> <strong>Team separation:</strong> Dedicate each control plane to a different team and share resources based on team purpose.</li> <li> <strong>Resource hosting and management separation</strong>: Run a hybrid control plane with self-hosted data plane nodes, and a separate Dedicated Cloud Gateway control plane with Kong-managed nodes.</li> </ul>  <script type="module"> import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@10/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs'; mermaid.initialize({ startOnLoad: true, theme: 'base', themeVariables: { 'primaryColor': '#fff', 'primaryBorderColor': '#4a86e8', 'primaryTextColor': '#495c64', 'secondaryColor': '#fff', 'secondaryTextColor': '#5096f2', 'tertiaryBorderColor': '#AAB4BB', 'edgeLabelBackground': '#fff', 'fontFamily': 'Roboto', 'fontSize': '15px', 'lineColor': '#99b0c0', 'activationBorderColor': '#c2d4e0', 'sequenceNumberColor': '#fff' } }); </script> <pre class="mermaid"> flowchart TD A(Hybrid control plane) B(Fully-managed \n control plane) C(<img src="/assets/images/logos/KogoBlue.svg" style="max-height:20px" class="no-image-expand"> Self-managed \n data plane nodes \n #40;locally-hosted#41;) D(<img src="/assets/images/logos/KogoBlue.svg" style="max-height:20px" class="no-image-expand"> Self-managed \n data plane nodes \n #40;hosted by you in cloud provider#41;) E(<img src="/assets/images/logos/KogoBlue.svg" style="max-height:20px" class="no-image-expand"> Fully-managed \n data plane nodes \n #40;hosted by Kong#41;) subgraph id1 [Konnect] A B end A --proxy configuration---> C & D B --proxy configuration---> E style id1 stroke-dasharray:3,rx:10,ry:10 style A stroke:none,fill:#0E44A2,color:#fff style B stroke:none,fill:#0E44A2,color:#fff </pre>  <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Figure 2:</strong> Example control plane group configuration for two control planes: a hybrid control plane and a fully-managed Dedicated Cloud Gateway control plane.</em> <br><br> <em>The hybrid control plane consists of a Kong-managed CP and self-managed DP nodes, while the Dedicated Cloud Gateway control plane consists of fully-managed CP and DP nodes.

Consumers and their authentication mechanisms don’t carry over to other control planes.</p> <p><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/configuration/">Kong Gateway configuration in Konnect →</a></p> <h3 id="control-plane-groups">Control plane groups</h3> <p>A control plane group is a read-only control plane that combines configuration from its members, which are standard Kong Gateway control planes. All of the members of a control plane group share the same cluster of data plane nodes.</p> <p>The benefits of a control plane group include:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Shared infrastructure, individual config</strong>: Users or organizations can share infrastructure, while teams still have their own standard control planes to manage individual configuration.</li> <li> <strong>Modular clusters</strong>: Combine standard control planes in different ways to create unique configurations for different purposes.</li> <li> <strong>Workspaces in the cloud</strong>: Control plane groups function similarly to Kong Gateway workspaces, with the added benefit of a cloud control plane.</li> </ul> <p>Learn more about control plane groups:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/control-plane-groups/">Intro to control plane groups</a></li> <li><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/control-plane-groups/how-to/">Set up and manage control plane groups</a></li> <li><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/control-plane-groups/migrate/">Migrate configuration into a control plane group</a></li> <li><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/control-plane-groups/conflicts/">Conflicts in control plane groups</a></li> </ul> <h3 id="control-plane-dashboard">Control plane dashboard</h3> <p>For each control plane, you can view traffic, error rate, and Kong Gateway service analytics for its data plane nodes. This allows you to see how much of a control plane is used. You can also select the time frame of analytics that you want to display.</p> <h3 id="deleting-a-control-plane">Deleting a control plane</h3> <blockquote class="warning"> <p><strong>Warning:</strong> Deleting a control plane is irreversible. Make sure that you are certain that you want to delete the control plane, and that all entities and data plane nodes in the control plane the have been accounted for.</p> </blockquote> <p>To delete a control plane, you can use the Gateway Manager or the Konnect <a href="/konnect/api/control-planes/latest/">Control Plane API</a>.</p> <p>When a control plane is deleted, all associated entities are also deleted. This includes all entities configured in the Gateway Manager for this control plane. As a best practice, <a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/backup-restore/">back up</a> a control plane’s configuration before deleting it to avoid losing necessary configuration.</p> <p>Data plane nodes that are still active when the control plane is deleted will not be terminated, but they will be orphaned. They will continue processing traffic using the last configuration they received until they are either connected to a new control plane or manually shut down.</p> <h2 id="data-plane-nodes">Data plane nodes</h2> <p>A data plane node is a single Kong Gateway instance. Data plane nodes service traffic for the control plane.</p> <p>You can deploy your data plane nodes in the following ways:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>Fully-managed</strong>: <ul> <li> <p>Dedicated Cloud Gateways data plane nodes are completely managed by Kong in the cloud provider of your choice. You maintain control over the size and location of the gateway infrastructure, while Kong oversees the management of each instance and the entire cluster for you. You can use the Dedicated Cloud Gateways wizard in Gateway Manager to provision a Kong Gateway data plane node in a cloud provider.</p> </li> <li> <p>Serverless Gateways data plane nodes are also completely managed by Kong but all the infrastructure options are abstracted from the user. It is not possible to configure the placement, size, or number of data plane nodes.</p> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <strong>Self-managed</strong>: The data plane nodes are hosted either on your own systems or in an external cloud provider. You can use the script in Gateway Manager to provision a Kong Gateway data plane node in a Docker container running Linux, on MacOS, or on Windows.</li> </ul> <p>The following table can help you decide which data plane node strategy to use based on your use case:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Use case</th> <th>Data plane node strategy</th> <th>Solution</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Reducing latency is important to your organization.</td> <td><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/dedicated-cloud-gateways/">Dedicated Cloud Gateways</a></td> <td>Supports multiple regions on AWS and Azure: <br><br>- AWS regions: Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore, Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Ohio, Oregon. <br>- Azure regions: Frankfurt, Ireland, UK South, Virginia, Washington</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Your organization operates in an industry with strict data protection and privacy requirements.</td> <td><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/dedicated-cloud-gateways/">Dedicated Cloud Gateways</a></td> <td>Using the private gateway option, Kong provisions a private network load balancer and only exposes the IP address in the UI.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Your organization needs high availability with zero downtime when upgrading data plane nodes.</td> <td><a href="/konnect/gateway-manager/dedicated-cloud-gateways/">Dedicated Cloud Gateways</a></td> <td>There’s no downtime when upgrading your data plane nodes.
