Which Envoy features are not supported on Windows?

Note

On August 31, 2023 the Envoy project ended official Windows support due to a lack of resources. We will continue to accept patches related to the Windows build. Until further notice, Windows builds are excluded from Envoy CI, as well as the Envoy release and security processes.

The vast majority of Envoy features are supported on Windows. There are few exceptions that are documented explicitly. The most notable features that are not supported on Windows are:

• Watchdog

• Tracers

• Original Src HTTP Filter.

• Hot restart

• Signed Exchange Filter

• VCL Socket Interface

There are certain Envoy features that require newer versions of Windows. These features explicitly document the required version.

We will continue adding support for the missing features over time and define a roadmap to bring platform support to parity with Linux.
