Description

When installed as an Ingress Controller (this is not a bug) Kong only respects configs saved to the cluster as CRDs. This means that it deletes any config set in Konga UI (i.e. it is useless to create resources with Admin API).

A really nice feature for Konga would be the ability to save changes as CRDs into a cluster instead of saving them with Admin API.

The known CRDs are:

  • KongConsumer
  • KongCredential
  • KongPlugin
  • KongIngress

Research direction
First, understand the existing Konga codebase, especially how it interacts with the Kong Admin API (likely in services or controllers). Review the Kubernetes CRD definitions for Kong (e.g., KongConsumer, KongPlugin) in the Kong Ingress Controller repository. Then, explore how Konga could be extended to generate Kubernetes manifests instead of direct API calls. Consider creating a new module in Konga that handles CRD creation. Look at existing issues or discussions in the repository for prior analysis. Discuss with maintainers on what approach they prefer.
