Description

Description: It is hard to support all Kubernetes knobs for Deployment and Service within our EnvoyProxy API to customize EnvoyProxy Fleet resources, so its easier to allow users to create and update the envoy proxy fleet themselves, and use Envoy Gateway only to retrieve Xds Configuration

Here are the following things we need to do if this is something we want to support

  • Disable the Infra Manager and support User Provisioned Envoy Proxy fleet
  • Provide helm charts to create the Envoy Fleet resources (Service, Deployment)
  • Add helm knobs to specify
    • Xds Server URL
    • TLS Credentials
    • Labels for Envoy Deployment and Service

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Infra Manager code to understand how to disable it and allow user provisioned Envoy fleets. Look at existing Helm chart structure for reference.
