  1. A static Envoy configuration refers to an Envoy configuration that is manually created or written by a user. A dynamic Envoy configuration (like those provided by Istio) will constantly adapt to new containers, as well as new routing and filter rules, from an external controller or data plane.
  2. Listeners, Routes, Clusters, and Endpoints.
  3. Knative requires many components in order to run. This allows for plenty of customization but makes it more difficult to set up and operate than OpenFaaS.
