Envoy
The Istio data plane is Envoy, which does all the heavy lifting. You may find the Istio control plane too complicated and prefer to remove this layer of indirection and build your own control plane to interact directly with Envoy. This can be useful in some specialized circumstances; for example, if you want to use a load balancing algorithm offered by Envoy that Istio doesn't support.
