sovereign
Mission statement
This project implements a JSON control-plane based on the envoy data-plane-api
The purpose of sovereign is to supply downstream envoy proxies with
configuration in near-realtime by responding to discovery requests.
Mechanism of Operation
tl;dr version:
* Polls HTTP/File/Other for data
* (optional) Applies transforms to the data
* Uses the data to generate Envoy configuration from templates
In a nutshell, Sovereign gathers contextual data ("sources" and "template context"), optionally applies transforms to that data (using "modifiers") and finally uses the data to generate envoy configuration from either python code, or jinja2 templates.
This is performed in a semi-stateless way, where the only state is data cached in memory.
Template context is intended to be statically configured, whereas Sources are meant to be dynamic - for example, fetching from an API, an S3 bucket, or a file that receives updates.
Modifiers can mutate the data retrieved from sources, just in case the data is in a less than favorable structure.
Both modifiers and sources are pluggable, i.e. it's easy to write your own and plug them into Sovereign for your use-case.
Currently, Sovereign supports only providing configuration to Envoy as JSON. That is to say, gRPC is not supported yet. Contributions in this area are highly appreciated!
The JSON configuration can be viewed in real-time with Sovereign's read-only web interface.
