Envoy xDS APIs

The xDS (x Discovery Service) APIs provide dynamic configuration for Envoy proxies via a management server, including LDS, RDS, CDS, EDS, SDS, and ADS. xDS APIs are served over gRPC or REST and allow management servers to push Listener, Route, Cluster, Endpoint, and Secret configurations to Envoy proxies at runtime without restarts.
