A
If
you
wanna,
you
know,
keep
it
be
being
informed
about
what
we're
doing,
as
always
I'll
be
looking
at
the
live
chat,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
what
I'm
talking
about,
feel
free
to
ask
questions
as
they
come
in
the
live
chat,
and
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
them
today.
We
will
be
talking
about
a
envoy
filter
crd
in
ico.
I
have
a
little
bit
of
slides
kind
of
outlining
the
topic
and
then
we're
going
to
do
a
live
demo.
A
So
with
that,
let's
move
on
to
the
slides
here
we
go
so
only
filter
cid,
let's
first
describe
it
kind
of
what
it
does.
Why
do
we
need
it?
Why
do
we
use
it?
What's
the
motivation
and
the
idea
is
that
it
seo
allows
you
to
have
a
lot
of
use
cases
with
the
hco
api,
but
essentially
the
ito.
Api
eventually
gets
translated
to
envoy
api
right
and
there
might
be
some
use
cases
you
want
to
deploy
that
are
not
exposed
in
the
ito.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Right
so
remember,
this
android
filter
can
be
used
to
add
configuration
to
the
envoy
sidecar,
and
this
just
selects
which
sidecars
you
want
to
add
the
configuration
to,
and
then
the
config
patches
part
the
config
patches.
They
that's
the
part
that
adds
the
actual
and
modifies
the
envoy
live
configuration
right.
So
with
that,
let
me
show
go
over
the
next
idea.
I
think
this
is
a
better
view.
A
Let's
look
at
the
structure
of
the
config
patch,
and
so
the
android
config
patch
is
a
list
of
this
object
that
has
these
three
fields
applied
to
a
match
and
patch
apply
to
says
which
part
of
the
android
config
we're
changing.
It
could
be
the
http
filters
could
be
tcp.
Filters
could
be
the
list
of
clusters,
things
like
that
and
the
match
part
is
further
to
limit
which
object,
we're
changing.
A
So,
for
example,
we
can
say
I
want
to
merge
this
configuration
into
an
existing
listener,
so
I
can
match
on
the
specific
listener
I
want
right
so
apply
to
would
be
the
listeners
and
the
match
would
be
the
specific
listener
that
I
want
to
match
on
and
then.
Finally,
the
the
patch
itself
has
an
operation,
which
is
what
are
we
doing?
We
can
merge
so,
for
example,
we
can
merge
additional
fields
to
listener.
A
So
let's
say
it's
your
exposes.
You
know
knobs
to
certain
parts
of
an
android
listener
and
you
can
use
a
merge
to
add
more
settings
right.
Needless
to
say,
this
means
that
you
have
to
know
the
envoy
configuration
right,
there's,
no,
it's
your
obstructions
on
top
of
it
and
then
the
value,
that's
the
core
of
the
envoy
filter,
crd
right.
That's
where
that's
essentially
a
json
that
gets
applied
onto
the
envoy
config,
based
on
all
the
previous
semantics.
We
talked
about
all
the
previous
fields
that
we
talked
about,
so
that's
kind
of
the
gist.
A
A
First
thing:
first,
a
the
demo
we
will
be
working
on
is
based
on
the
ico
air
rate
limit
demo
and
you
can
see
it'll
be
in
the
show
notes,
there'll
be
links
to
the
demo.
I
slightly
changed
it
because
I
wanted
it
to
work
in
cluster
instead
of
on
the
ingress
and
everything
will
be
available
in
our
guitar
burpo.
So
you
can
go
to
github
solo.
Your
slash
shoot
once
I'm
done
with
the
episode.
I
will
upload
all
the
code
I
used
for
this
demo
to
there
and
you
can
read
it
there.
A
A
A
The
patch
means
insert
before
so
you'll
insert
whatever
patch,
whatever
value,
you're,
you're
patching
and
just
before
the
tcp
proxy
filter
and
the
value
the
operation
that
we're
doing
is
the
value
that
the
json
value
that
we're
adding
before
that
we're
inserting
before
is
obviously
because
it's
in
the
filtering
will
be
a
filter
and
it
has
a
name
and
a
type
config
here
and
obviously
dot
dot.
We
don't
need
the
full
config
to
understand
this,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
structure.
With
that,
let's
go
to
our
demo.
A
I've
prepared
here
an
environment
of
ico
with
the
book
info.
You
can
see
that
it
seo
is
deployed
here,
and
you
can
see
that
we
have
book
info.
This
is
itzio,
in
addition,
and
this
is
based
on
the
rate
limit
hco
tutorial,
which
I
said
will
be
linked
in
the
readme
of
this
folder.
You
can
review
that
later
also
deploy
the
rate
limit,
server
and
redis
for
the
raid
limit
server.
Now
we
did
an
episode
specifically
on
raid
limiting.
A
So
if
you
want
to
understand
this
structure,
I
highly
recommend
you
go
back
and
view
that
episode,
I'm
not
going
to
go
too
much
into
the
details
of
what
these
pods
are,
but
I'll
just
give
a
brief
overview.
This
raid
limit
server
is
a
stateless
server
that
just
answers.
The
question
should
a
certain
request
be
rate,
limited
and
redis
is
where
that
server
stores
its
state
all
right.
So
let's
do
some
curling.
A
A
If
we
go
to
the
booking
for
api
just
to
have
this
illustration
here,
a
good
booking,
for
example,
we're
targeting
this
error
right
product
page
is
going
to
reviews
and
that's
that's
the
connection.
We
want
to
rate
limit
all
right.
So
why
is
nothing
happening
even
though
the
server
is
configured
because
we
have
not
configured
the
sidecar
to
you
know
check
if
there's
any
need
to
be
rate
limits
and
that's
exactly
where
the
android
filter
credit
comes
in.
A
A
Our
context
where
we
want
to
apply
is
the
sidecar
inbound,
because
I
want
it
on
incoming
connections
every
connection
that
reaches
the
reviews.
I
want
to
see
if
I
need
to
relimit
it
and
then
I'm
saying
matching
on
the
router
filter
and
a
router
filter.
If
you
don't
know
in
android,
that's
the
last
filter
on
the
field
version,
that's
a
filter
that
does
the
upstream
request,
so
the
router
filter
has
to
be
the
last
filter
and
usually
policy
stuff
will
be
before
the
router
filler
just
before.
It
goes
upstream
to
the
review
service
itself.
A
A
This
is
the
config
for
the
rate
limit,
filter
itself
and
essentially
we
say:
okay
use
configuration
domain
reviews
rate
limit
and
this
needs
to
match
the
domain
configured
for
the
server.
So
as
we
can
see
these
two
match
so
we're
good
here
and
then
we
say,
the
rate
limit
service
is
a
defined
in
a
cluster
name
rate
limit
cluster
and
hcl
does
not
define
this
cluster
right.
So
what
do
we
do?
We
have
another
patch
to
define
the
cluster
right,
so
we
apply
it
to
the
cluster
list.
A
A
A
We
have
defined
a
filter
right,
but
we
also
need
to
define
something
on
the
route.
We
need
to
tell
the
filter
what
type
of
descriptors
to
send
to
the
rate
limit
server
if
you're
not
100,
sure
what
descriptors
are.
We
went
to
that
in
great
detail
in
our
previous
suit
on
red
limited,
so
do
check
that
out
I'll
just
you
know
give
a
brief
overview.
As
I
read
our
next
sandwich,
filter
crd.
A
So
our
next
time
we
filter
crd
again
label
selector,
config
patches.
It
applies
to
a
virtual
host
on
the
sidecar
inbound
to
any
virtual
host,
and
then
we
merge
because
we
don't
want
to
add
anything
right.
We
want
to
modify
the
existing
one
and
add
stuff
to
it.
So
we
merge
operation
and
the
value
that
we
add
is
rate
limits
and
again
to
know
what
this
means
you
have
to
go
to
the
android
docs.
Essentially,
what
will
happen
here
that
the
once
the
rate
limit,
filter
activates
as
part
of
the
data
path?
A
It
will
ask
the
relevant
server,
should
it
rate
limit
and
it
sends
it
the
descriptors
with
the
name
path
and
the
value
would
be
the
path
right.
This
is
the
path
sudo
header,
if
you
are
familiar
with
http
2.
This
is
how
you
know
you
get
the
path
in
the
form
of
an
http
2
header
right,
colon
path,
so
this
will
essentially
be
slash,
review,
slash,
0
or
such
a
research.
One
right
search
review,
slash
their
review,
their
review.
A
It's
working
second
time
yeah,
and
why
not?
It
should?
Oh
here
we
go,
I
guess
it
took
a
second
to
propagate
and
what
we
can
see
that,
after
from
now
on
till
you
know
the
rest
of
the
minute,
we
can
see
we
get
too
many
requests
and
this
limit
should
reset
beth.
I
have
server
config,
which
is
right
here,
one
unit
per
minute,
and
you
can
see
that
if
we
go
and
ask
for
you
know
a
different
product
review,
we
can
do
that
a
lot
more.
A
And
after
a
hundred
times,
we
can
see
that
we
finally
should
get
you
know
response
denied
for
reviews.
One
you
see
too
many
requests
right,
because
this
has
a
limit
of
a
hundred
requests
per
minute
right
and
if
we'll
wait
a
minute,
we
can
see
that
this
limit
will
reset
and
we
should
be
able
to
access
the
reviews
again,
oh
to
my
request
again,
and
hopefully
a
minute
has
passed
for
that
other
one
yeah
I
mean
it'll
press
over
the
other
one.
A
A
A
A
And
you
can,
when
you,
if
you
want
to
review
envelopes
again
a
reminder,
we've
done,
you
know
episodes
when
I
will
be
logging
multiple
times.
So
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
this,
but
you
can
set
the
debug
log
level
to
debug
and
then
you
can
view
the
logs
of
the
android
sidecars
and
with
debug
level
it's
really
slow.
So
by
no
means
don't
do
it
in
production.
You
can
see
the
request
as
it
flows
through
android,
and
you
can
see
exactly
where,
where
it
is,
where
it's
going.
What's
the
errors
what's
happening?
A
A
A
A
A
I
guess
I
made
some
calls,
so
you
can
see
that
we
have.
You
know
all
the
keys
in
redis
to
specify
how
many
hits
we
had
for
various
things,
and
you
can
see
you
know,
make
sure
that
it's
re-limiting
or
not
very
limiting,
as
you
expect
all
right.
That
was
our
short
overview
for
today
for
the
envoy
filter
crd.
A
A
So
let's
go
back
to
the
reference
docs.
I
always
refer
to
the
docs
I'll,
save
you
a
lot
of
headache.
So
why
do
we
want
to
use
android
filters?
Essentially,
we
want
to
use
them
when
we
have
to
right
when
we
have
an
api
or
a
use
case
that
we
want
to
implement,
but
we
don't
have
an
api
to
implement
it
with
in
hco
right.
A
An
anime
filter
allows
us
to
use
etio
to
stream
envoy
config
directly
to
envoy,
right
and
kind
of
turns
you
to
a
general
purpose
and
void
control
plane
the
disadvantage
of
it.
The
ico
doesn't
know
what
this
config
means.
It
cannot
validate
it.
It
cannot.
You
know,
make
sure
that
it's
it's
working
correctly,
so
it's
kind
of
on
you.
A
You
have
to
make
sure
that
it's
working,
you
have
to
know
android
very
well
in
order
to
use
this
feature,
and-
and
it's
on
you
to
make
sure
you
didn't
break
anything
right
once
you
do
that,
it's
you
can't
help.
You
figure
out
why
something
is
not
working
another
disadvantage.
You
see
this
a
little
v1
alpha
3,
so
this
crd
is
an
alpha
right
now.
I
know
it's.
You
know
in
the
process
of
moving
into
beta,
but
for
right
now
it's
alpha,
which
means
that
yamls
that
you
write
today
might
break
in
a
future.
A
And
again
this
is
a
breakless
api
and
it's
meant
to
be
used
when
you
have
to.
If
you
can
do
something
with
the
rig
regular,
it's
your
apis.
You
should
use
the
the
regular
it's
your
api
to
do
them
now,
let's
say
as
a
reminder:
the
android
filter
crd
has
a
workload
selector
that
says
what
workload
it
applies
on
and
a
set
of
config
patches.
A
A
And
this
is
the
envoy
and
it's
your
reference
talk,
there's
a
bunch
of
examples
here
that
you
can
use
to
kind
of
see
and
and
get
familiar
with.
That's
what
this
object.
Does
it's
a
very
powerful
object
and
again,
I
think
the
main
disadvantage
is
that
you
have
to
really
know
and
very
well
in
order
to
use
this
well
yeah
all
right,
I
see
we
don't
have
questions
for
today.
