Cloud Native Chronicles: Unleashing the Power of the Cloud

In the world of cloud-native architectures, efficient communication between microservices is paramount. To address this need, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) introduced Envoy, a powerful and extensible proxy server. Envoy is popular for its advanced features and seamless integration with various cloud-native technologies. In this comprehensive guide, we dive into how Envoy works, explore its key features, and provide step-by-step instructions on how to download, configure, and use Envoy in your cloud-native projects. Cloud-native applications are designed to be scalable, resilient, and highly available. However, as the number of microservices increases, managing the complex communication network between them becomes a challenge. This is where Envoy comes in. Envoy acts as a transparent intermediary, managing the flow of traffic between services, providing load balancing and enabling advanced traffic management techniques. Envoy's architecture is based on a data plane a...
