xDS is the family of discovery APIs that Envoy and other data planes use to receive their configuration dynamically. It defines Protobuf services for listeners, routes, clusters and endpoints so a control plane can reconfigure a proxy fleet at runtime without restarts.

No provider in the catalog carries this standard as a tag yet. That is a statement about the catalog's tagging, not about adoption: a provider that implements xDS and says so in its APIs.json profile appears here on the next build. Add or correct a listing.
