create this is using the [`consul connect envoy`

bootstrap configuration directly to stdout, or generate the configuration and issue an `exec` command
to the Envoy binary as a convenience wrapper.

The [Advanced Configuration](#advanced-configuration) section describes additional configurations that allow incremental or complete control over the bootstrap configuration generated.
### Bootstrap Consul on Windows VMs
If you are running Consul on a Windows VM, the `consul connect envoy` command returns the following output:
```shell-session hideClipboard
Directly running Envoy is only supported on linux and macOS since envoy itself doesn't build on other plataforms currently.
Use the -bootstrap option to generate the JSON to use when running envoy on a supported OS or via a container or VM.
```
To bootstrap Envoy on Windows VMs, you must generate the bootstrap configuration as a .json file and then manually edit it to add both your ACL token and a valid access log path.
First, add the `-bootstrap` option to the command and save the output to a file:
```shell-session
$ consul connect envoy -bootstrap > bootstrap.json
```
Then, open `bootstrap.json` and add your ACL token and log path to the file.
To complete the bootstrap process, start Envoy and include the path to `bootstrap.json`:
```shell-session
envoy -c <C://path/to/bootstrap.json>
```
~> **Tip**: The `bootstrap.json` file contains your ACL token. Because the file is no longer needed after bootstrapping is complete, delete it to protect your network.
## Dynamic Configuration
Consul automatically generates Envoy's dynamic configuration based on its
