Request for support on xds

[hzxuzhonghu]

We have met many users who want to use istio, in order to do this users need to drop many features provided by spring cloud.

I have an idea, could springcloud support xds, so it could connect to any management server and communicate with it via xds. It is beneficial for both spring cloud and the popular mesh concept. BTW, grpc has recently supported xds

Are you imagining a DiscoveryClient xDS implementation?

[hzxuzhonghu]

Yes, definitely need a discovery client and after it gets xds from server, it need to convert the config to what springcloud knows

[ryanjbaxter]

If this is something we see demand for we can certainly consider it

[hzxuzhonghu]

Thanks. We want to make our spring cloud app communicate with service mesh ones, and behave like those.
