This topic describes how to view the details of a Cloud-native API Gateway instance, including its basic information and ingress.
View the details of an instance
You can view the details of a Cloud-native API Gateway instance, including its basic information, ingress, and security group authorizations. For more information, see View the details of an instance.
Modify instance parameter settings
To adapt to different scenarios, you can adjust the parameter settings of your Cloud-native API Gateway instance. You can adjust the parameters to improve the performance, reliability, and security of the network and ensure the stable operation of the network and user experience. However, parameter modifications may affect network connections and application running. Therefore, you must fully understand the meanings and value ranges of parameters before modification. For more information, see Modify instance parameter settings.
Configure security group rules
A Cloud-native API Gateway instance and a backend service reside in different security groups. You can configure a security group rule to authorize your Cloud-native API Gateway instance to access the backend service. For more information, see Configure security group rules.
Enable WAF
Cloud-native API Gateway instances are deeply integrated with Alibaba Cloud WAF 3.0. Compared with traditional Web Application Firewall (WAF), this integration allows user requests to directly access gateway instances without the need to pass through WAF. This way, the overall system performance is significantly improved without compromising security. For more information, see Enable WAF.
Does Cloud-native API Gateway support WAF 2.0?
Yes. To integrate Cloud-native API Gateway with WAF 2.0, you must add the IP address of the Server Load Balancer (SLB) instance that is associated with your Cloud-native API Gateway instance as an origin IP address of WAF. For more information, see Tutorial.
Enable auto scaling for gateways
Cloud-native API Gateway supports automatic scaling of resources and container instances to adapt to traffic changes and meet your business requirements. This helps ensure the availability and performance of application programs in peak hours and reduce resource usage and expenses in off-peak hours. For more information, see Enable auto scaling for gateways.
Services
You can add existing services to Cloud-native API Gateway as routing alternatives and manage these services in Cloud-native API Gateway. You can also create new services in Cloud-native API Gateway. You can configure tag-based routing policies to support high-availability deployments such as canary release and tag-based routing. You can also configure traffic rules to manage backend encryption types and load balancing methods and perform active health checks. When a service instance is not running as expected, the rules can remove the instance and put it back online after restoration based on your configuration. Cloud-native API Gateway allows you to add services from the following sources: Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters, Microservices Engine (MSE) Nacos instances, fixed endpoints, Domain Name System (DNS) domain names, and Function Compute. For more information, see Services.
Service sources
Cloud-native API Gateway allows you to create, modify, and delete service sources. For more information, see Add a service source.
