Istio should be deployable in traditional VMs
Istio should be deployable in traditional virtual machines such as OpenStack in addition to Kube.
@hzariv yes, this is our next target.
Just an update: We have partial support for this, in the form of Consul Integration. You can install a consul cluster, setup consul agents in your VMs to automatically register your VMs with Consul. Start up Istio control plane with Consul adapter and you should be able to manage your VMs, do routing, telemetry, etc.
Docs are under construction, but we have a proof of concept with Docker compose https://istio.io/docs/guides/consul-integration.html . Please let us know if you would like to see other patterns.

@rshriram I have tired Istio on raw VM - consul setup and here is what I found - https://github.com/istio/issues/issues/118.
Routing works good.
Is there more development happening on consul integration to extend the features ?
