Envoy xDS APIs is one of 15 APIs that [Envoy](https://apis.io/providers/envoy/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Discovery Service, Dynamic Configuration, gRPC, and xDS. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an API reference, and a GitHub repository.

The xDS (x Discovery Service) APIs provide dynamic configuration for Envoy proxies via a management server, including LDS, RDS, CDS, EDS, SDS, and ADS. xDS APIs are served over gRPC or REST and allow management servers to push Listener, Route, Cluster, Endpoint, and Secret configurations to Envoy proxies at runtime without restarts.
