ENABLE_AUTO_SNI | Boolean | false | If enabled, automatically set SNI when `DestinationRules` do not specify the same |
ENABLE_CA_SERVER | Boolean | true | If this is set to false, will not create CA server in istiod. |
ENABLE_DEBUG_ON_HTTP | Boolean | true | If this is set to false, the debug interface will not be enabled, recommended for production |
ENABLE_ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPING | Boolean | false | If enabled, meshConfig.discoverySelectors will limit the CustomResource configurations(like Gateway,VirtualService,DestinationRule,Ingress, etc)that can be processed by pilot. This will also restrict the root-ca certificate distribution. |
ENABLE_HCM_INTERNAL_NETWORKS | Boolean | false | If enable, endpoints defined in mesh networks will be configured as internal addresses in Http Connection Manager |
ENABLE_LEADER_ELECTION | Boolean | true | If enabled (default), starts a leader election client and gains leadership before executing controllers. If false, it assumes that only one instance of istiod is running and skips leader election. |
ENABLE_LEGACY_FSGROUP_INJECTION | Boolean | false | If 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". |

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_HOST | Boolean | false | If 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_DISCOVERY | Boolean | false | If 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. |
ENABLE_MULTICLUSTER_HEADLESS | Boolean | true | If true, the DNS name table for a headless service will resolve to same-network endpoints in any cluster. |
ENABLE_TLS_ON_SIDECAR_INGRESS | Boolean | false | If enabled, the TLS configuration on Sidecar.ingress will take effect |
ENABLE_WASM_TELEMETRY | Boolean | false | If enabled, Wasm-based telemetry will be enabled. |

ISTIO_DEFAULT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT | Time Duration | 0s | Default Http and gRPC Request timeout |
ISTIO_DELTA_XDS | Boolean | false | If 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_PORT | Boolean | false | If enabled, Gateway will remove any port from host/authority header before any processing of request by HTTP filters or routing. Deprecated: in Istio 1.15+ port is ignored in domain matching. |
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXRECVMSGSIZE | Integer | 4194304 | Sets the max receive buffer size of gRPC stream in bytes. |
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXSTREAMS | Integer | 100000 | Sets the maximum number of concurrent grpc streams. |
ISTIO_MULTIROOT_MESH | Boolean | false | If enabled, mesh will support certificates signed by more than one trustAnchor for ISTIO_MUTUAL mTLS |
ISTIO_OUTBOUND_OWNER_GROUPS | String | * | Comma separated list of groups whose outgoing traffic is to be redirected to Envoy. A group can be specified either by name or by a numeric GID. The wildcard character "*" can be used to configure redirection of traffic from all groups. |

PILOT_ENABLE_DESTINATION_RULE_INHERITANCE | Boolean | false | If set, workload specific DestinationRules will inherit configurations settings from mesh and namespace level rules |
PILOT_ENABLE_EDS_DEBOUNCE | Boolean | true | If 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_SERVICES | Boolean | false | If 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_HEADLESS_SERVICE_POD_LISTENERS | Boolean | true | If 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_PASSTHROUGH | Boolean | true | If 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_RDS_CACHE | Boolean | true | If true, Pilot will cache RDS responses. Note: this depends on PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHE. |
PILOT_ENABLE_REDIS_FILTER | Boolean | false | EnableRedisFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.redis_proxy` in the filter chain. |
PILOT_ENABLE_ROUTE_COLLAPSE_OPTIMIZATION | Boolean | true | If true, Pilot will merge virtual hosts with the same routes into a single virtual host, as an optimization. |

PILOT_SCOPE_GATEWAY_TO_NAMESPACE | Boolean | false | If 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_SEND_UNHEALTHY_ENDPOINTS | Boolean | false | If enabled, Pilot will include unhealthy endpoints in EDS pushes and even if they are sent Envoy does not use them for load balancing. To avoid, sending traffic to non ready endpoints, enabling this flag, disables panic threshold in Envoy i.e. Envoy does not load balance requests to unhealthy/non-ready hosts even if the percentage of healthy hosts fall below minimum health percentage(panic threshold). |

PILOT_USE_ENDPOINT_SLICE | Boolean | false | If 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_PERIOD | Time Duration | 10s | The amount of time an auto-registered workload can remain disconnected from all Pilot instances before the associated WorkloadEntry is cleaned up. |

SKIP_TLS_VERIFY | Boolean | false | Whether to use insecure TLS in kubeconfig file |
SPIFFE_BUNDLE_ENDPOINTS | String | | The 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 |
