Ansible Envoy Proxy Role

Envoy Proxy is a strong proxy tool for cloud applications. It is an official project in the CNCF and works well with tools like Jagger for tracking and Prometheus for monitoring.

This Ansible role helps users install and set up the basics of Envoy Proxy on virtual machines and physical servers as an alternative to standard proxies and load balancers.

Note that this role does NOT include deeper configuration details of Envoy Proxy, which require more advanced Ansible tools.
