Provide custom Envoy configuration

[marlowp]

Please describe the Improvement and/or Feature Request The ability to set custom Envoy configuration when using Open Service Mesh. For example setting the lb_policy to use a different load balancer policy.

Apologies if this is already possible. I couldn't find anything in the documentation. I can see that it's possible to set the Envoy image used by setting spec.sidecar.envoyImage in the mesh configuration so I could build a custom image with that configuration but I'm unsure what side affects that might cause and is much more effort to maintain.

There is an example of Envoy config being provided in a configmap here but it's not clear how that configmap can be referenced when installing OSM via AKS.
