# Consul API Gateway 0.1.0
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## OVerview
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the first General Availability (GA) release of Consul API Gateway. It
|
|||
|
|
provides controlled access for network traffic, from outside a Consul service
|
|||
|
|
mesh, to Services on the mesh
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In Kubernetes deployments, it can be used as an alternative to Consul's Ingress
|
|||
|
|
Gateway and provides capabilities Ingress Gateway does not. These include:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. It allows you to configure and deploy new gateways at any time, without
|
|||
|
|
rerunning the Consul Helm chart. The configuration of a running gateway can
|
|||
|
|
be changed dynamically at anytime, usually without disrupting any the the
|
|||
|
|
traffic flowing through it.
|
|||
|
|
1. Listeners on a gateway can use TLS server certificates signed by any
|
|||
|
|
Certificate Authority (CA). This allows you to use certificates from public
|
|||
|
|
CA's, like Verisign and Let's Encrypt, and private CA's, such as a company's
|
|||
|
|
internal CA.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
