>The disadvantage is that you have to manually add an Envoy container and minimal config to everything you run, which people apparently hate.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think envoy (or istio, at least), uses a mutable admission webhook to inject the sidecar into your pod. This means you never have to enter anything into your pod spec.

Edit: I noticed you pointed this out with istio.

Yeah, Istio is the Kubernetes glue for Envoy. Envoy is just a proxy; it can exist without Kubernetes and as far as I know, knows nothing about it.
