[Converters] Automate migration from Propritery vendors #7

Open nrshrivatsan opened 5 years ago

nrshrivatsan commented 5 years ago

TL;DR

Script to migrate Hardware Load Balancers' routing rules into EnvoyConfigs

Why

Potential users of Envoy need to migrate legacy systems from Proprietary vendors
Envoy's Control Plane APIs are awesome, but seamless migration from legacy to Software Layer-7 Proxies is expensive and cost-inhibiting
Open automation tools to migrate from Proprietary DSLs into Envoy config syntax could save a lot of time for Envoy Users

What

Proprietary vendors have open specs
Create a syntax tree parser to migrate from a vendor's DSL into Envoy config
Provide automated validation scripts to validate the conversion

@nrshrivatsan agreed that this would be useful. Do you have plans to contribute here or should we mark this as "help wanted"?

@htuch - Help wanted.

PS - I will check with our engineers and get back if this could be open-sourced.
