# Consul API Gateway 0.3.0
## Release Highlights
- **Improved High Availability and Scalability via Multiple Instances per Gateway:**
This release introduces support for deploying multiple instances of a logical
gateway (i.e. a K8s `gateway` config object). You can use an external load
balancing service to distribute incoming traffic across the instances of a
gateway. This provides higher availability of gateway services and also allows
a single logical gateway to handle a volume of network traffic that is much
greater than what a single instance of a gateway can.
Administrators can set the number of instances independently for each logical
gateway. Administrators can also set, in the `gatewayClassConfig`, the
minimum, maximum and default number of gateway instances. These are applied
per `gateway` to all `gateways` in that `gatewayClass`. The minimum and
maximum settings will override settings configured on any given `gateway`.
~> **Note:** There is a hard limit of eight (8) instances per `gateway` and it can
not be overridden. This hard limit will probably be increased in the future.
- **Cross Namespace Reference Policies for Certificates:**
Reference policies is a security feature introduced in the 0.2 release. In
this release, Reference Policies are now required for TLS certificates when a
`listener` has a `certificateRef` that is in a different `namespace`.
