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 policy | targetRef policy |
|---|---|
| CircuitBreaker | N/A |
| FaultInjection | N/A |
| HealthCheck | N/A |
| RateLimit | N/A |
| Retry | N/A |
| Timeout | N/A |
| TrafficLog | MeshAccessLog |
| TrafficMetrics | N/A |
| TrafficPermissions | MeshTrafficPermission |
| TrafficRoute | N/A |
| TrafficTrace | MeshTrace |
targetRef policies are still beta and it is therefore not supported to mix source/destination and targetRef policies
together.
