Another alternate for Istio would be to use a custom xds-server (control plane) and Envoy as sidecars. With few caveats - Can become a configuration nightmare

Another alternate for Istio would be to use a custom xds-server (control plane) and Envoy as sidecars.
With few caveats
- Can become a configuration nightmare if not managed properly
- Not as sophisticated as Istio
On the positive side
- There won't be a lot of moving parts as in Istio.
- Envoy has excellent documentation for debugging
- Get things done with all the perks of Envoy
- tybit 8y agoI hope someone builds this out at some point, a no fuss alternative control plane for envoy would be great.
