Environment variables

These environment variables affect the behavior of the install-cni command. Please use with caution as these environment variables are experimental and can change anytime.
Variable NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
AMBIENT_ENABLEDBooleanfalseWhether ambient controller is enabled
AUTO_RELOAD_PLUGIN_CERTSBooleantrueIf 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.
CA_TRUSTED_NODE_ACCOUNTSStringIf set, the list of service accounts that are allowed to use node authentication for CSRs. Node authentication allows an identity to create CSRs on behalf of other identities, but only if there is a pod running on the same node with that identity. This is intended for use with node proxies.
CERT_SIGNER_DOMAINStringThe cert signer domain info
CHAINED_CNI_PLUGINBooleantrueWhether to install CNI plugin as a chained or standalone
CLUSTER_IDStringKubernetesDefines the cluster and service registry that this Istiod instance is belongs to

CNI_ENABLE_INSTALLBooleantrueWhether to install CNI configuration and binary files
CNI_ENABLE_REINSTALLBooleantrueWhether to reinstall CNI configuration and binary files
CNI_NETWORK_CONFIGStringCNI configuration template as a string
CNI_NETWORK_CONFIG_FILEStringCNI config template as a file
CNI_NET_DIRString/etc/cni/net.dDirectory on the host where CNI network plugins are installed
EBPF_ENABLEDBooleanfalseWhether ebpf redirection is enabled
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_AUTO_SNIBooleanfalseIf enabled, automatically set SNI when `DestinationRules` do not specify the same
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 enabled, recommended for production
ENABLE_ENHANCED_RESOURCE_SCOPINGBooleanfalseIf 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_NETWORKSBooleanfalseIf enable, endpoints defined in mesh networks will be configured as internal addresses in Http Connection Manager
ENABLE_LEADER_ELECTIONBooleantrueIf 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_INJECTIONBooleanfalseIf 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_LEGACY_LB_ALGORITHM_DEFAULTBooleanfalseIf enabled, destinations for which no LB algorithm is specified will use the legacy default, ROUND_ROBIN. Care should be taken when using ROUND_ROBIN in general as it can overburden endpoints, especially when weights are used.
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.
ENABLE_MULTICLUSTER_HEADLESSBooleantrueIf true, the DNS name table for a headless service will resolve to same-network endpoints in any cluster.
ENABLE_TLS_ON_SIDECAR_INGRESSBooleanfalseIf enabled, the TLS configuration on Sidecar.ingress will take effect
ENABLE_WASM_TELEMETRYBooleanfalseIf enabled, Wasm-based telemetry will be enabled.
EXTERNAL_ISTIODBooleanfalseIf this is set to true, one Istiod will control remote clusters including CA.

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_DUAL_STACKBooleanfalseIf enabled, pilot will configure clusters/listeners/routes for dual stack capability.
ISTIO_ENABLE_OPTIMIZED_SERVICE_PUSHBooleantrueIf enabled, Istiod will not push changes on arbitraty annotation change.
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXRECVMSGSIZEInteger4194304Sets the max receive buffer size of gRPC stream in bytes.
ISTIO_GPRC_MAXSTREAMSInteger100000Sets the maximum number of concurrent grpc streams.

PILOT_ENABLE_CONFIG_DISTRIBUTION_TRACKINGBooleanfalseIf 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_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_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_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_PERSISTENT_SESSION_HEADER_LABELStringistio.io/persistent-session-headerIf not empty, services with this label will use header based persistent sessions
PILOT_PERSISTENT_SESSION_LABELStringistio.io/persistent-sessionIf not empty, services with this label will use cookie based persistent sessions
PILOT_PUSH_THROTTLEInteger100Limits the number of concurrent pushes allowed. On larger machines this can be increased for faster pushes

PILOT_SEND_UNHEALTHY_ENDPOINTSBooleanfalseIf 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_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_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.

SKIP_TLS_VERIFYBooleanfalseWhether to use insecure TLS in kubeconfig file
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 certificates 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
SYSTEM_NAMESPACEStringistio-systempod's namespace
TRUSTED_GATEWAY_CIDRStringIf set, any connections from gateway to Istiod with this CIDR range are treated as trusted for using authentication mechanisms like XFCC. This can only be used when the network where Istiod and the authenticating gateways are running in a trusted/secure network
UNSAFE_ENABLE_ADMIN_ENDPOINTSBooleanfalseIf this is set to true, dangerous admin endpoints will be exposed on the debug interface. Not recommended for production.
UNSAFE_PILOT_ENABLE_DELTA_TESTBooleanfalseIf enabled, addition runtime tests for Delta XDS efficiency are added. These checks are extremely expensive, so this should be used only for testing, not production.
UNSAFE_PILOT_ENABLE_RUNTIME_ASSERTIONSBooleanfalseIf enabled, addition runtime asserts will be performed. These checks are both expensive and panic on failure. As a result, this should be used only for testing.
