About the project

Envoy is proxy written for service meshes, often deployed as a sidecar. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The maintainers own the project. They choose release timing, publish announcements, and write the documentation themselves. Nothing about that process is controlled from here.

Typical distribution routes

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Check compatibility first

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Checking the result

A version query afterwards is usually enough to confirm the environment picked it up. If the result is unexpected, the usual causes are a stale path entry or a version manager resolving to a different release.
