[–] thanatos519 3y ago ↗ I get 406 Not Acceptable over there, but ... yes, the whole Envoy-sidecar-per-Pod thing is heavy in latency, management, and userspace processing overhead.Istio is already shrinking this overhead ... a bit ... with Ambient Mesh: https://istio.io/latest/blog/2022/get-started-ambient/... but in the end I expect this all to happen in the kernel. [–] xyzzy123 3y ago ↗ for the ultimate in efficiency though, what if this processing was done right inside the userspace process? /s /ducks
