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 dynamic configuration.

Mechanism of Operation

Sovereign allows you to define templates that represent each resource type provided by Envoy. For example, clusters, routes, listeners, secrets, extension_configs, etc.

In order to enrich the templates with data, Sovereign has ways of polling data out-of-band which it then includes as variables that can be accessed within the templates.

This allows Sovereign to provide configuration to Envoy that changes over time depending on the data sources, without needing to redeploy the control-plane.

Sovereign provides some built-in ways of polling data (such as over HTTP, or on-disk) but also exposes extension points, allowing you to write your own plugins in Python.
