Kong Mesh System
The Styra DAS Kong Mesh System type helps you manage the ingress and egress network traffic permitted within your OPA-integrated Kong Mesh. For example, permit egress traffic only to a predefined collection of endpoints to minimize the risk of data exfiltration or implement microservice API authorization.
