Overview
Kong is a scalable, modular and fault-tolerant API layer (aka API gateway or API middleware) that runs in front of any RESTful API. It is built on top of reliable technologies like NGINX which provides developers an easy-to-use RESTful API to operate and configure the system. It is mainly used to act as a gateway for HTTP requests providing logging, authentication, and rate-limiting to websites and mobile or IoT (Internet of Things) applications.

Why use Bitnami Certified Apps?
Bitnami certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box.
Bitnami packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Bitnami automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
Highlights
- Scalable: Kong easily scales horizontally by simply adding more machines, meaning your platform can handle virtually any load while keeping latency low.
- Modular: Kong can be extended by adding new plugins, which are easily configured through a RESTful Admin API.
- Runs on any infrastructure: Kong runs anywhere. You can deploy Kong in the cloud or on-premise environments, including single or multi-datacenter setups and for public, private or invite-only APIs.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
