Note
In the above repositories, we tag a vX.Y-latest image for each security/stable release line.
In the above dev repositories, the latest tag points to a container including the last Envoy build on master that passed tests.
The Envoy project considers master to be release candidate quality at all times, and many organizations track and deploy master in production. We encourage you to do the same so that issues can be reported as early as possible in the development process.
The envoy-build-ubuntu
image does not contain a working Envoy server, but can be used for
building Envoy and related containers. This image requires 4-5GB of available disk space to use.
