Pomerium v0.28.0

Pomerium v0.28 is here, packed with major updates enhancing our Kubernetes integration, deployment flexibility, and security configurations across all editions. This release also includes significant performance optimizations and several critical bug fixes.

Downloads are available on GitHub Releases, CloudSmith, and Docker Hub for all supported platforms.

Major updates include:

• Support for Structured Authentication Configuration ( Kubernetes 1.30+) enabling secure kubectl and Kubernetes API access. Beyond basic Kubernetes RBAC, Pomerium brings the same centralized, context-aware authorization capabilities you love so you can manage your Kubernetes control plane like it was any other workload. For more details, visit our Kubernetes Access documentation.

• Our Ingress Controller now includes experimental support for the Kubernetes Gateway API, designed to streamline ingress configuration and enhance role-based resource management in complex Kubernetes environments. Supports Gateway API v1.2 "Core" features, with both "Gateway" and "HTTP" conformance profiles. We’re actively expanding Gateway API support and welcome your feedback to guide future improvements.

• Simplified Kubernetes Deployments with Helm and Kustomize. Our new Helm chart, alongside existing Kustomize manifests, enables quick and seamless integration into Kubernetes environments. Ready to get started? Check out our setup guide in our installs repo.

• Performance enhancements including faster header evaluation (2x faster than before) and more efficient route matching (unlocking tens of thousands of routes within a given cluster).

Big thank you to all our users, and to everyone who contributed to this release!

Best,

The Pomerium Team
