Problem
No Ansible role exists for deploying Kong API Gateway. The demo_lab creates a VM for Kong (admin-web-api-kong, VMID 1020) but the VM has no Kong installed or configured.
Needed
A catalog role (e.g., software.install.kong) that:
- Installs Kong (via apt repo or Docker)
- Configures Kong to proxy the backend API
- Sets up service/route definitions for Range42 endpoints
- Optionally enables authentication plugins
Context
Kong sits between the deployer-ui and backend-api, handling auth, rate limiting, and TLS termination. Without it, the UI must connect directly to the backend.
