# Intel managed distribution of Envoy

Intel managed distribution of Envoy is a project aiming to showcase and integrate various Intel technologies into Envoy. The focus is in letting both upstream community and users know what Intel is working on, finding gaps in upstream project features in relation to hardware enablement, and testing and deploying Intel features for Envoy.

## Features

Each feature need to be installed (enabled) to take effect, as described in respective pages.

* [TLS handshake acceleration with AVX512 (CryptoMB)](docs/envoy-cryptomb.md)
* [TLS handshake acceleration with QAT2.0](docs/envoy-qat.md)
* [HTTP data compression acceleration with QATzip](docs/envoy-qatzip.md)
* [HTTP data compression acceleration with QATzstd](docs/envoy-qatzstd.md)
* [Regular expressions with Hyperscan](docs/envoy-hyperscan.md)
* [HTTP/2 and HTTP/2 header compression algorithm HPACK with AVX512](docs/envoy-nghttp2.md)
* [Private key protection with SGX](docs/envoy-sgx.md)
* [Connection balancer with DLB](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/other_features/dlb)

## Build

Use the following command for building envoy with Intel features:

```bash
# run test and build
./ci/run_envoy_docker.sh "./ci/do_ci.sh release"  

# only build envoy
