Kong for Kubernetes - DB Setup

1

As most of the plugin require DB mode, is there any documentation on how to setup kong for kubernetes with DB mode and integrate with database?

Also I see OAuth Authentication plugin doesnt work in DB-less and Hybrid mode. In Hybrid mode, I see we can configure DB in Control plane. Even then why OAuth Authentication doesnt work here?

Is there a way that Kong can integration with external OAuth provider?

Almost or all plugins are compatible with dbless k4k8s

You can still use kong with DB, you just need to configure that.

kong has oidc plugin, maybe you can use with external oauth provider.

oauth2 plugin needs to both generate and delete tokens, and commit those changes to the database, which is not compatible with DB-less.

You might also able to run Kong with DB in Kubernetes.
