Another alternate for Istio would be to use a custom xds-server (control plane) and Envoy as sidecars. With few caveats - Can become a configuration nightmare if not managed properly - Not as sophisticated as Istio On the positive side - There won't be a lot of moving parts as in Istio. - Envoy has excellent documentation for debugging - Get things done with all the perks of Envoy

I hope someone builds this out at some point, a no fuss alternative control plane for envoy would be great.

Although my team is evaluating Istio, currently we are using this to keep things minimal.
