If any sidecar proxy or gateway services are registered to the local agent // they are sync'd to the proxycfg.Manager. // 2a. proxycfg.Manager creates a state object for the service and begins // pre-fetching data (go to 8). // 3. Client (i.e., envoy) begins a stream and the xDS server calls Watch on its // ConfigSource - on a client agent this would be a local config source, on a // server it would be a catalog config source. // 4. On server, the catalog config source will check if service is registered locally. // 4a. If the service *is* registered locally it hands off the local config // source, which calls Watch on the proxycfg manager (and serves the pre- // fetched data). // 5. Otherwise, it fetches the service from the state store. // 6. It calls Watch on the proxycfg manager. // 7. It registers the service with the proxycfg manager. // 7a. See: 2a. // 8. xDS server receives snapshots of configuration data whenever it changes. package proxycfg
