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 | true | 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 settings for the insights engine. | Gloo management server | |
SafeModeAutoSkipWarming | true | Alpha | 2.6.0 | When this flag is enabled, the Gloo management server automatically excludes workload clusters that were never connected to the management server from Redis safe mode. This setting allows you to seamlessly onboard new clusters without setting the skipWarming field on the corresponding KubernetesCluster resource. NOTE: Enable this field only after you successfully upgraded to 2.6.0 and all workload clusters are reconnected to the Gloo management server and their input snapshots are present in Redis. | Gloo management server | |
VirtualDestinationWorkspacePolicyOverride | false | 2.6.0 | Enable the ability to override client-side policies of imported virtual destinations. Otherwise, the virtual destinations keep the policies from the source workspace. Note that when you first enable this feature, virtual destinations with client-side policies experience dropped traffic until the configuration updates are propagated across clusters. You cannot disable this feature after enabling. | Gloo management server |
