Resource Annotations
This page presents the various resource annotations that Istio supports to control its behavior.
| Annotation Name | Feature Status | Resource Types | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
galley.istio.io/analyze-suppress | Alpha | [Any] | A comma separated list of configuration analysis message codes to suppress when Istio analyzers are run. For example, to suppress reporting of IST0103 (PodMissingProxy) and IST0108 (UnknownAnnotation) on a resource, apply the annotation 'galley.istio.io/analyze-suppress=IST0108,IST0103'. If the value is '*', then all configuration analysis messages are suppressed. |
inject.istio.io/templates | Alpha | [Pod] | The name of the inject template(s) to use, as a comma separate list. See https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/sidecar-injection/#custom-templates-experimental for more information. |

sidecar.istio.io/proxyCPU | Alpha | [Pod] | Specifies the requested CPU setting for the Envoy sidecar. |
sidecar.istio.io/proxyCPULimit | Alpha | [Pod] | Specifies the CPU limit for the Envoy sidecar. |

sidecar.istio.io/userVolume | Alpha | [Pod] | Specifies one or more user volumes (as a JSON array) to be added to the Envoy sidecar. |
sidecar.istio.io/userVolumeMount | Alpha | [Pod] | Specifies one or more user volume mounts (as a JSON array) to be added to the Envoy sidecar. |
status.sidecar.istio.io/port | Alpha | [Pod] | Specifies the HTTP status Port for the Envoy sidecar. If zero, the sidecar will not provide status. |
