Policies

Here you can find the list of Policies that Kuma supports.

Going forward from version 2.0, Kuma is transitioning from source/destination policies to targetRef policies.

The following table shows the equivalence between source/destination and targetRef policies:

source/destination policytargetRef policy
CircuitBreakerMeshCircuitBreaker
FaultInjectionMeshFaultInjection
HealthCheckMeshHealthCheck
RateLimitMeshRateLimit
RetryMeshRetry
TimeoutMeshTimeout
TrafficLogMeshAccessLog
TrafficMetricsN/A
TrafficPermissionsMeshTrafficPermission
TrafficRouteMeshHTTPRoute
TrafficTraceMeshTrace
ProxyTemplateMeshProxyPatch

targetRef policies are still beta and it is therefore not supported to mix source/destination and targetRef policies together.
