Variable NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
AUTO_RELOAD_PLUGIN_CERTSBooleanfalseIf enabled, if user introduces new intermediate plug-in CA, user need not to restart istiod to pick up certs.Istiod picks newly added intermediate plug-in CA certs and updates it. Plug-in new Root-CA not supported.
CERT_SIGNER_DOMAINStringThe cert signer domain info
CLUSTER_IDStringKubernetesDefines the cluster and service registry that this Istiod instance is belongs to
ENABLE_AUTO_MTLS_CHECK_POLICIESBooleantrueEnable the auto mTLS EDS output to consult the PeerAuthentication Policy, only set the {tlsMode: istio} when server side policy enables mTLS PERMISSIVE or STRICT.
ENABLE_CA_SERVERBooleantrueIf this is set to false, will not create CA server in istiod.
ENABLE_DEBUG_ON_HTTPBooleantrueIf this is set to false, the debug interface will not be ebabled on Http, recommended for production
ENABLE_LEGACY_FSGROUP_INJECTIONBooleantrueIf true, Istiod will set the pod fsGroup to 1337 on injection. This is required for Kubernetes 1.18 and older (see https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/57923 for details) unless JWT_POLICY is "first-party-jwt".
ENABLE_MCS_AUTO_EXPORTBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will automatically generate Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) ServiceExport resources for every service in the mesh. Services defined to be cluster-local in MeshConfig are excluded.
ENABLE_MCS_CLUSTER_LOCALBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will treat the host `<svc>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local` as defined by the Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) spec. In this mode, requests to `cluster.local` will be routed to only those endpoints residing within the same cluster as the client. Requires that both ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY and ENABLE_MCS_HOST also be enabled.
ENABLE_MCS_HOSTBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will configure a Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) host (<svc>.<namespace>.svc.clusterset.local) for each service exported (via ServiceExport) in at least one cluster. Clients must, however, be able to successfully lookup these DNS hosts. That means that either Istio DNS interception must be enabled or an MCS controller must be used. Requires that ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERY also be enabled.
ENABLE_MCS_SERVICE_DISCOVERYBooleanfalseIf enabled, istiod will enable Kubernetes Multi-Cluster Services (MCS) service discovery mode. In this mode, service endpoints in a cluster will only be discoverable within the same cluster unless explicitly exported via ServiceExport.

ISTIO_BOOTSTRAPString
ISTIO_DEFAULT_REQUEST_TIMEOUTTime Duration0sDefault Http and gRPC Request timeout
ISTIO_DELTA_XDSBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will only send the delta configs as opposed to the state of the world on a Resource Request. This feature uses the delta xds api, but does not currently send the actual deltas.
ISTIO_GATEWAY_STRIP_HOST_PORTBooleanfalseIf enabled, Gateway will remove any port from host/authority header before any processing of request by HTTP filters or routing.
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXRECVMSGSIZEInteger4194304Sets the max receive buffer size of gRPC stream in bytes.
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXSTREAMSInteger100000Sets the maximum number of concurrent grpc streams.
ISTIO_MULTIROOT_MESHBooleanfalseIf enabled, mesh will support certificates signed by more than one trustAnchor for ISTIO_MUTUAL mTLS

K8S_INGRESS_NSString
K_REVISIONStringKNative revision, set if running in knative
PILOT_CERT_PROVIDERStringistiodThe provider of Pilot DNS certificate.
PILOT_DEBOUNCE_AFTERTime Duration100msThe delay added to config/registry events for debouncing. This will delay the push by at least this interval. If no change is detected within this period, the push will happen, otherwise we'll keep delaying until things settle, up to a max of PILOT_DEBOUNCE_MAX.
PILOT_DEBOUNCE_MAXTime Duration10sThe maximum amount of time to wait for events while debouncing. If events keep showing up with no breaks for this time, we'll trigger a push.
PILOT_DISTRIBUTION_HISTORY_RETENTIONTime Duration1m0sIf enabled, Pilot will keep track of old versions of distributed config for this duration.
PILOT_ENABLE_ANALYSISBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will run istio analyzers and write analysis errors to the Status field of any Istio Resources
PILOT_ENABLE_CDS_CACHEBooleantrueIf true, Pilot will cache CDS responses. Note: this depends on PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHE.
PILOT_ENABLE_CONFIG_DISTRIBUTION_TRACKINGBooleantrueIf enabled, Pilot will assign meaningful nonces to each Envoy configuration message, and allow users to interrogate which envoy has which config from the debug interface.
PILOT_ENABLE_CROSS_CLUSTER_WORKLOAD_ENTRYBooleantrueIf enabled, pilot will read WorkloadEntry from other clusters, selectable by Services in that cluster.
PILOT_ENABLE_DESTINATION_RULE_INHERITANCEBooleanfalseIf set, workload specific DestinationRules will inherit configurations settings from mesh and namespace level rules
PILOT_ENABLE_EDS_DEBOUNCEBooleantrueIf enabled, Pilot will include EDS pushes in the push debouncing, configured by PILOT_DEBOUNCE_AFTER and PILOT_DEBOUNCE_MAX. EDS pushes may be delayed, but there will be fewer pushes. By default this is enabled
PILOT_ENABLE_EDS_FOR_HEADLESS_SERVICESBooleanfalseIf enabled, for headless service in Kubernetes, pilot will send endpoints over EDS, allowing the sidecar to load balance among pods in the headless service. This feature should be enabled if applications access all services explicitly via a HTTP proxy port in the sidecar.
PILOT_ENABLE_FLOW_CONTROLBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will wait for the completion of a receive operation beforeexecuting a push operation. This is a form of flow control and is useful inenvironments with high rates of push requests to each gateway. By default,this is false.
PILOT_ENABLE_GATEWAY_APIBooleantrueIf this is set to true, support for Kubernetes gateway-api (github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api) will be enabled. In addition to this being enabled, the gateway-api CRDs need to be installed.

PILOT_ENABLE_GATEWAY_API_STATUSBooleantrueIf this is set to true, gateway-api resources will have status written to them
PILOT_ENABLE_HEADLESS_SERVICE_POD_LISTENERSBooleantrueIf enabled, for a headless service/stateful set in Kubernetes, pilot will generate an outbound listener for each pod in a headless service. This feature should be disabled if headless services have a large number of pods.
PILOT_ENABLE_INBOUND_PASSTHROUGHBooleantrueIf enabled, inbound clusters will be configured as ORIGINAL_DST clusters. When disabled, requests are always sent to localhost. The primary implication of this is that when enabled, binding to POD_IP will work while localhost will not; when disable, bind to POD_IP will not work, while localhost will. The enabled behavior matches the behavior without Istio enabled at all; this flag exists only for backwards compatibility. Regardless of this setting, the configuration can be overridden with the Sidecar.Ingress.DefaultEndpoint configuration.
PILOT_ENABLE_ISTIO_TAGSBooleantrueDetermines whether or not trace spans generated by Envoy will include Istio-specific tags.
PILOT_ENABLE_K8S_SELECT_WORKLOAD_ENTRIESBooleantrueIf enabled, Kubernetes services with selectors will select workload entries with matching labels. It is safe to disable it if you are quite sure you don't need this feature
PILOT_ENABLE_LEGACY_AUTO_PASSTHROUGHBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will allow any upstream cluster to be used with AUTO_PASSTHROUGH. This option is intended for backwards compatibility only and is not secure with untrusted downstreams; it will be removed in the future.
PILOT_ENABLE_METADATA_EXCHANGEBooleantrueIf true, pilot will add metadata exchange filters, which will be consumed by telemetry filter.
PILOT_ENABLE_MONGO_FILTERBooleantrueEnableMongoFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.mongo_proxy` in the filter chain.

PILOT_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_SNIFFING_FOR_OUTBOUNDBooleantrueIf enabled, protocol sniffing will be used for outbound listeners whose port protocol is not specified or unsupported
PILOT_ENABLE_QUIC_LISTENERSBooleanfalseIf true, QUIC listeners will be generated wherever there are listeners terminating TLS on gateways if the gateway service exposes a UDP port with the same number (for example 443/TCP and 443/UDP)
PILOT_ENABLE_RDS_CACHEBooleantrueIf true, Pilot will cache RDS responses. Note: this depends on PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHE.
PILOT_ENABLE_REDIS_FILTERBooleanfalseEnableRedisFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.redis_proxy` in the filter chain.
PILOT_ENABLE_ROUTE_COLLAPSE_OPTIMIZATIONBooleantrueIf true, Pilot will merge virtual hosts with the same routes into a single virtual host, as an optimization.
PILOT_ENABLE_SERVICEENTRY_SELECT_PODSBooleantrueIf enabled, service entries with selectors will select pods from the cluster. It is safe to disable it if you are quite sure you don't need this feature
PILOT_ENABLE_STATUSBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will update the CRD Status field of all istio resources with reconciliation status.
PILOT_ENABLE_TELEMETRY_LABELBooleantrueIf true, pilot will add telemetry related metadata to cluster and endpoint resources, which will be consumed by telemetry filter.
PILOT_ENABLE_VIRTUAL_SERVICE_DELEGATEBooleantrueIf set to false, virtualService delegate will not be supported.
PILOT_ENABLE_WORKLOAD_ENTRY_AUTOREGISTRATIONBooleantrueEnables auto-registering WorkloadEntries based on associated WorkloadGroups upon XDS connection by the workload.
PILOT_ENABLE_WORKLOAD_ENTRY_HEALTHCHECKSBooleantrueEnables automatic health checks of WorkloadEntries based on the config provided in the associated WorkloadGroup
PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHEBooleantrueIf true, Pilot will cache XDS responses.
PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_IDENTITY_CHECKBooleantrueIf enabled, pilot will authorize XDS clients, to ensure they are acting only as namespaces they have permissions for.
PILOT_ENDPOINT_TELEMETRY_LABELBooleantrueIf true, pilot will add telemetry related metadata to Endpoint resource, which will be consumed by telemetry filter.
PILOT_ENVOY_FILTER_STATSBooleanfalseIf true, Pilot will collect metrics for envoy filter operations.
PILOT_FILTER_GATEWAY_CLUSTER_CONFIGBooleanfalse
PILOT_FLOW_CONTROL_TIMEOUTTime Duration15sIf set, the max amount of time to delay a push by. Depends on PILOT_ENABLE_FLOW_CONTROL.
PILOT_HTTP10BooleanfalseEnables the use of HTTP 1.0 in the outbound HTTP listeners, to support legacy applications.
PILOT_INBOUND_PROTOCOL_DETECTION_TIMEOUTTime Duration1sProtocol detection timeout for inbound listener
PILOT_INSECURE_MULTICLUSTER_KUBECONFIG_OPTIONSStringgcp,azure,exec,openstack,clientkey,clientCertificate,tokenFileComma separated list of potentially insecure kubeconfig authentication options that are allowed for multicluster authentication.Support values: all authProviders (`gcp`, `azure`, `exec`, `openstack`), `clientKey`, `clientCertificate`, `tokenFile`, and `exec`.
PILOT_JWT_ENABLE_REMOTE_JWKSBooleanfalseIf enabled, checks to see if the configured JwksUri in RequestAuthentication is a mesh cluster URL and configures remote Jwks to let Envoy fetch the Jwks instead of Istiod.
PILOT_JWT_PUB_KEY_REFRESH_INTERVALTime Duration20m0sThe interval for istiod to fetch the jwks_uri for the jwks public key.
PILOT_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_SECONDFloating-Point100Limits the number of incoming XDS requests per second. On larger machines this can be increased to handle more proxies concurrently.
PILOT_PUSH_THROTTLEInteger100Limits the number of concurrent pushes allowed. On larger machines this can be increased for faster pushes
PILOT_REMOTE_CLUSTER_TIMEOUTTime Duration30sAfter this timeout expires, pilot can become ready without syncing data from clusters added via remote-secrets. Setting the timeout to 0 disables this behavior.
PILOT_SCOPE_GATEWAY_TO_NAMESPACEBooleanfalseIf enabled, a gateway workload can only select gateway resources in the same namespace. Gateways with same selectors in different namespaces will not be applicable.
PILOT_SIDECAR_USE_REMOTE_ADDRESSBooleanfalseUseRemoteAddress sets useRemoteAddress to true for side car outbound listeners.
PILOT_SKIP_VALIDATE_TRUST_DOMAINBooleanfalseSkip validating the peer is from the same trust domain when mTLS is enabled in authentication policy
PILOT_STATUS_BURSTInteger500If status is enabled, controls the Burst rate with which status will be updated. See https://godoc.org/k8s.io/client-go/rest#Config Burst
PILOT_STATUS_MAX_WORKERSInteger100The maximum number of workers Pilot will use to keep configuration status up to date. Smaller numbers will result in higher status latency, but larger numbers may impact CPU in high scale environments.
PILOT_STATUS_QPSFloating-Point100If status is enabled, controls the QPS with which status will be updated. See https://godoc.org/k8s.io/client-go/rest#Config QPS
PILOT_STATUS_UPDATE_INTERVALTime Duration500msInterval to update the XDS distribution status.
PILOT_TRACE_SAMPLINGFloating-Point1Sets the mesh-wide trace sampling percentage. Should be 0.0 - 100.0. Precision to 0.01. Default is 1.0.
PILOT_USE_ENDPOINT_SLICEBooleanfalseIf enabled, Pilot will use EndpointSlices as the source of endpoints for Kubernetes services. By default, this is false, and Endpoints will be used. This requires the Kubernetes EndpointSlice controller to be enabled. Currently this is mutual exclusive - either Endpoints or EndpointSlices will be used
PILOT_WORKLOAD_ENTRY_GRACE_PERIODTime Duration10sThe amount of time an auto-registered workload can remain disconnected from all Pilot instances before the associated WorkloadEntry is cleaned up.
PILOT_XDS_CACHE_SIZEInteger60000The maximum number of cache entries for the XDS cache.
PILOT_XDS_CACHE_STATSBooleanfalseIf true, Pilot will collect metrics for XDS cache efficiency.

REQUIRE_3P_TOKENBooleanfalseReject k8s default tokens, without audience. If false, default K8S token will be accepted
REWRITE_PROBE_LEGACY_LOCALHOST_DESTINATIONBooleanfalseIf enabled, readiness probes will be sent to 'localhost'. Otherwise, they will be sent to the Pod's IP, matching Kubernetes' behavior.
REWRITE_TCP_PROBESBooleantrueIf false, TCP probes will not be rewritten and therefor always succeed when a sidecar is used.
SHARED_MESH_CONFIGStringAdditional config map to load for shared MeshConfig settings. The standard mesh config will take precedence.
SPIFFE_BUNDLE_ENDPOINTSStringThe SPIFFE bundle trust domain to endpoint mappings. Istiod retrieves the root certificate from each SPIFFE bundle endpoint and uses it to verify client certifiates from that trust domain. The endpoint must be compliant to the SPIFFE Bundle Endpoint standard. For details, please refer to https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/master/standards/SPIFFE_Trust_Domain_and_Bundle.md . No need to configure this for root certificates issued via Istiod or web-PKI based root certificates. Use || between <trustdomain, endpoint> tuples. Use | as delimiter between trust domain and endpoint in each tuple. For example: foo|https://url/for/foo||bar|https://url/for/bar
TERMStringSpecifies terminal type. Use 'dumb' to suppress color output
TOKEN_AUDIENCESStringistio-caA list of comma separated audiences to check in the JWT token before issuing a certificate. The token is accepted if it matches with one of the audiences
UNSAFE_ENABLE_ADMIN_ENDPOINTSBooleanfalseIf this is set to true, dangerous admin endpoints will be exposed on the debug interface. Not recommended for production.
