Configuration: Static

To start Envoy with static configuration, you will need to specify :ref:listeners <start_quick_start_static_listeners> and :ref:clusters <start_quick_start_static_clusters> as :ref:static_resources <start_quick_start_static_static_resources>.

You can also add an :ref:admin <start_quick_start_admin> section if you wish to monitor Envoy or retrieve stats.

The following sections walk through the static configuration provided in the :download:demo configuration file <_include/envoy-demo.yaml> used as the default in the Envoy Docker container.

static_resources

The :ref:static_resources <envoy_v3_api_field_config.bootstrap.v3.Bootstrap.static_resources> contain everything that is configured statically when Envoy starts, as opposed to dynamically at runtime.

.. _start_quick_start_static_listeners:

listeners

The example configures a :ref:listener <envoy_v3_api_file_envoy/config/listener/v3/listener.proto> on port 10000.

All paths are matched and routed to the service_envoyproxy_io :ref:cluster <start_quick_start_static_clusters>.

.. _start_quick_start_static_clusters:

clusters

The service_envoyproxy_io :ref:cluster <envoy_v3_api_file_envoy/config/cluster/v3/cluster.proto> proxies over TLS to https://www.envoyproxy.io.
