Request body

namestring required

The name of the virtual cluster.

descriptionstring

A human-readable description of the virtual cluster.

acl_mode'enforce_on_gateway' | 'passthrough' required

Configures whether or not ACL policies are enforced on the gateway.

  • enforce_on_gateway means the gateway enforces its own ACL policies for this virtual cluster and does not forward ACL-related commands to the backend cluster. Note that if there are no ACL policies configured, all access is denied.
  • passthrough tells the gateway to forward all ACL-related commands.
dns_labelstring required

The DNS label used in the bootstrap server URL to identify the virtual cluster when using SNI routing. The format follows the RFC1035: 1-63 chars, lowercase alphanumeric or '-', must start and end with an alphanumeric character.

labelsLabels

Labels store metadata of an entity that can be used for filtering an entity list or for searching across entity types.

Keys must be of length 1-63 characters, and cannot start with "kong", "konnect", "mesh", "kic", or "_".

Example request

{
  "authentication": [
    {
      "principals": [
        {
          "password": "${vault.env['MY_ENV_VAR']}"
        }
      ]
