Is Styra-das supported on Openshift?

Issue

We are currently evaluating the usage of a Styra-das setup which uses an envoy sidecar as egress proxy next to each container.

To force egress traffic through the envoy, the openpolicy agent project delivers a "proxy_init" script, which should be included as initContainer to the applications.

That init script tries to manipulate iptables rules of the pod to achieve that.

Unfortunately, this means each application initContainers must run with privileged rights to use that mechanism.
And to achieve this, we would need to give every service account the permission to use privileged containers.

Are there any platform agnostic ways to manipulate the way pods communicate with their enviroment (e.g force the traffic through the local egress proxy)?
