xDS Transport and Versioning Evolution

Explore the evolution of Envoy's xDS APIs towards the Universal Data Plane API (UDPA) and improvements in versioning support in this 29-minute conference talk. Dive into the next steps of xDS transport protocol evolution, including a new URI-centric resource naming scheme and its benefits for transport simplifications and technical debt reduction. Learn about advanced use cases such as federation, caching, and control plane scalability. Gain insights into Envoy's API versioning strategy and the implementation of minor/patch versioning for xDS resources, balancing technical debt management with control plane complexity.
