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.
