Configure Envoy through the Istio GW/VS

Open ep4sh opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Dear community,

could you please guide me if there is a magic way to configure the Envoy settings via resources like Gateway or Virtual service? I need such capability to allow my end users to apply desired settings via the GW/VS ( a bit more flexible than applying such settings globally).

Applying the WASM plugin could be an option but I didn’t find a way to configure it non-globally.

Ps. I can’t use the Envoy filter due to the security restrictions.

Really appreciate any suggestion.

Cheerz, Pasha

@ep4sh can you elaborate on this more? Which settings in envoy are you looking to configure? Do you want your end users to be able to configure select fields from Envoy or just have access to configure anything from the docs?

Hi @GregHanson, thank you for reply, I think I still need to have such capability to configure any Envoy settings from the docs, since I would like to provide such settings as configuration interface and make some test/limits on these settings. I hope it was clear, please let me know :)

Regards, Pasha

The method for configuring arbitrary settings in Envoy is EnvoyFilter; I don't believe we plan to expose any other method. We're instead working on our own APIs like the Telemetry API.
