Description

description

Even though Envoy doesnt have native support for ACME (at least not in the way traefik eg does), i think its a very popular concern

As i understand it, ACME support atm relies on a certbot sidecar to do renewal etc

I think it would be useful to provide a sandbox implementation of this method at least, and in the future if #96 is resolved we can update

I believe it would be possible to create this sandbox using the Pebble ACME server for demonstration purposes
