Complete!At this point Envoy proxy is installed on our CentOS machine.
#
Check the Envoy version
envoy --versionThe result will be something like this:
envoy version: d362e791eb9e4efa8d87f6d878740e72dc8330ac/1.18.2/clean-getenvoy-76c310e-envoy/RELEASE/BoringSSLInfo
At this point, Envoy proxy is not started. At this point, we have only the software installed.
Let's see how we can start and configure a simple Envoy proxy.
