Changelog

Added

• Ability to specify static IP for Kubernetes LoadBalancer service

  Added an optional loadBalancerIP parameter in the chart that allows users to set a static IP for Tyk Gateway and Dashboard services when using the LoadBalancer service type. This update provides enhanced control over IP configuration, useful for network stability in environments with multiple load balancers.

  Tyk gateway service configuration:

  • tyk-gateway.gateway.service.loadBalancerIP (default to “”)

  Tyk Dashboard service configuration:

  • tyk-dashboard.dashboard.service.loadBalancerIP (default to “”)
• Ability to configure Dashboard container port

  Enables specifying an alternate port for the container while using standard ports in the service. This option resolves permission issues associated with restricted ports, such as port 443, within containers.

• From v1.0 Tyk Operator Requires License Key

  Starting from Tyk Operator v1.0, a license key is required to use the Tyk Operator. You can provide it while installing Tyk Stack, Tyk Control Plane, or Tyk OSS helm chart by setting global.license.operator field. You can also set license key via a Kubernetes secret using global.secrets.useSecretName field. The secret should contain a key called OperatorLicense.
