Konnect CRDs
Manage Konnect declaratively with first-class CRD supportWe built Konnect CRDs after listening to you. Users told us that their teams are used to working in Kubernetes. They have policy enforcement engines running in their clusters, and well defined review processes for CRD changes.
Now we need your help. We’re expanding CRD support to new products, and need you to tell us which APIs you want us to build first.
Join the conversation and tell us how you’re using Konnect CRDs today and what you’d like to see next.
