gojektech/consul-envoy-xds repository overview

consul-envoy-xds is an implementation of an Envoy Control Plane/xDiscovery Service via the Envoy data plane API. It makes services registered with Consul available as endpoints through EDS.

xDS is the set of APIs that control the Envoy dynamic configuration. A longer explanation is available on the XDS Protocol page. Currently consul-envoy-xds implements only EDS, however other xDS are planned. In this implementation, the streaming version is available but the sync (Unary call) one is WIP.

If you are using Consul for service discovery and would like to use Envoy without manual configuration, consul-envoy-xds can be used. It uses Consul Watches and any changes to endpoints are streamed to Envoy via the Control Plane.
