Feature gates
Review the required Gloo versions for gated features that you can optionally enable in the gloo-platform and gloo-platform-crds Helm charts.
In the featureGates Helm setting, you specify a key-value pair, in which the key is the feature name, and the value is a boolean to enable or disable the feature. For example, to onboard external workloads with Gloo Mesh Enterprise, you set --set featureGates.ExternalWorkloads=true in your helm install command, or set featureGates.ExternalWorkloads to true in your Helm values file. Note that the featureGates section replaces the deprecated experimental section in the gloo-platform Helm chart.
For more information about the Helm chart, see the Helm value reference. For more information about features that are in alpha or beta support, see Gloo feature maturity.
For some features, you must enable the feature gate in both the gloo-platform chart and the gloo-platform-crds Helm chart, because the feature requires a specific CRD that is not installed by default. Review the feature description in the following table to check whether the feature gate must be enabled in gloo-platform-crds too.
| Feature | Default value | Maturity | Since | Until | Description | Used by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
EnableJWTPolicyEastWestRoute | false | GA | 2.5.4 | Enables JWTPolicies to apply to selected east-west routes when configuring applyToRoutes API. | Gloo management server | |
InsightsConfiguration | false | Alpha | 2.5.0 | Configure insights for Gloo Mesh Core. | Gloo management server | |
ReconcilerRelationshipWrites | false | Alpha | 2.5.0 | Deprecated: Relationship tracking is deprecated and planned for removal in a future release. Allow the Gloo reconciler, which applies translated Gloo resources in your workload clusters, to track relationships between input and output resources. Disabling this feature can improve system performance. | Gloo management server |
