implicit description of how to use DNS with Kong in production about docs.konghq.com HOT 5 CLOSED

Here's a rough draft for the content: https://gist.github.com/montanaflynn/a3a9336384d42188a45e

Also to be potentially included (perhaps as separate sections?)

• Firewall for admin API
• Server Configuration (ulimit, etc...)

from docs.konghq.com.

Is this somehow related to #80? Basically just documenting how proxying works?

from docs.konghq.com.

Yes it is related. I think this was specific to "production" where #80 is a general overview of Kong's proxy.

from docs.konghq.com.

Then it should probably go like this:

• Explain how to add an API to Kong ("notice we're using port 8001, the Admin API" bla bla)
• Add an API with a public_dns and a path
• Show how to make a request with a Host header
• Show that X-Host-Override also works ("check this out if you care using it from a browser and can't use the Host header")
• Request using the path ("check this out if you want to query an API by path")
• Request using the path + strip_path option
• Explain that currently Kong might need up to 60 seconds to notice a change in an API or a new API.

from docs.konghq.com.

#80 encompasses the entirety of the proxy layer, that includes any production related sections, unless we want this to be a part of the quickstart, otherwise it would live under the proxy section.
