<p>We are now on our journey to break our monolith (on-prem pkg (rpm/ova)) into services (dockers).</p>

<p>In the process we are evaluation envoy/istio as our communication and security layer, it looks great when running as sidecar in k8s, or each service on a separate machie.</p>

<p>As we are going to deliver several services within one machine, and can't deliver it within k8s, I'm not sure if we can use envoy, I didn't find any reference on using envoy in additional ways, are there additional deployment methods I can use to enjoy it?</p>

<p>You can <a href="https://istio.io/latest/docs/examples/virtual-machines/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">run part of your services on Kubernetes and part on VMs</a>.</p>
