mesh-route-generator

What is this?

This is a basic kubernetes controller that is built to handle a long running issue in current versions of istio (<= 1.14) that disallows more than one Kubernetes virtualservice from managing internal mesh gateway routes (istio/istio#22997). This issue will be resolved by HTTPRoute CRDs coming in the near future.

How does it work?

The controllers main logic actions on three specific events. Creation, Updates and Deletions of any virtualservice manifest in the cluster with the label bc-network: edge. This denotes paths that will be servicing inbound traffic. The routes are then merged and managed within the infra/mesh-routing virtualservice.
