Edge Load Balancing for Consul Connect

Hi,
I don’t represent HashiCorp but can say that I was able to configure Envoy to operate as an Edge proxy to a Consul service mesh. Consul provides enough configurability via ‘Escape Hatches’ including overriding the Envoy bootstrap template to allow it to work.

You will have to become familiar with the Envoy configuration format which can be a bit of a steep learning curve, but probably worthwhile if you will be supporting Consul Connect / Envoy mesh in production.

I plan to write up the details of what I did, and I’ll share once that’s available.

Thanks,
Matt
