This article is going to teach you how to Install Envoy Proxy on Ubuntu 22.04. Envoy Proxy is a modern edge and service proxy with a small footprint and outstanding performance. Software load balancers like NGINX and HAProxy are most equivalent to Envoy. Envoy, which was developed and implemented at Lyft, currently has a large community of contributors and is an official Cloud Native Computing Foundation project.
