(I work at AWS, this is a personal opinion :) ) IMO, I'd like to see a broad standardization on xDS/UDP to all services where direct dataplane integration would be beneficial. Why can't I direct Envoy to autoscaling so they can tell me what endpoints are available and what certs to use? or to RDS to direct me to nearby replicas and assist with authentication/authorization? I think the typical solution would be to embed more magic into the infrastructure, but that breaks down as you split things across the cloud and on-prem. While some customers only want magic and will change whatever they have to to get it, other customers don't/won't buy into that. Having a general-purpose method for a control plane to configure an arbitrary dataplane would be a big benefit for them.
