Cloud-Native Building Blocks: An Interactive Envoy Proxy Workshop
summary
Hands-on workshop that provisions a K3s browser lab via Instruct and walks through raw Envoy configs (Docker Compose examples) to create listeners, filter chains, and clusters; shows HTTP Connection Manager, TLS with mutual certs, and the ext_authz callback, and uses Prometheus/Grafana plus Envoy access logs and the Tap filter for observability. Exercise simulates an 80% failure simulation to demonstrate retries, a live debug where Envoy reports no healthy upstreams and the upstream is restarted, and a 12-question cert (80% to pass, bit.ly/envoy-exam).
