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	MeshCircuitBreaker
FaultInjection	MeshFaultInjection
HealthCheck	MeshHealthCheck
RateLimit	MeshRateLimit
Retry	MeshRetry
Timeout	MeshTimeout
TrafficLog	MeshAccessLog
TrafficMetrics	N/A
TrafficPermissions	MeshTrafficPermission
TrafficRoute	MeshHTTPRoute
TrafficTrace	MeshTrace
ProxyTemplate	MeshProxyPatch

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