About:
egctl is the official command-line interface for Envoy Gateway, enabling users to manage and configure Envoy-based API gateways. It provides a declarative approach to managing gateway resources, traffic routing, and security policies. The tool streamlines the deployment and lifecycle management of Envoy Gateway instances within Kubernetes environments.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration management for Envoy Gateway
  • Kubernetes-native integration and resource management
  • Traffic routing and policy configuration
  • Gateway lifecycle and status management
  • Extensible architecture for custom resources
Use Cases:
  • Configuring API routing rules for microservices
  • Managing TLS certificates and security policies
  • Deploying and monitoring Envoy Gateway instances in Kubernetes
Alternatives:
  • istioctl – Istio-specific CLI for service mesh management, while egctl focuses on Envoy Gateway
  • kubectl – Generic Kubernetes CLI that can manage resources but lacks Envoy Gateway-specific features
