Environment variables

These environment variables affect the behavior of the pilot-agent command. Please use with caution as these environment variables are experimental and can change anytime.
Variable NameTypeDefault ValueDescription
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.
BOOTSTRAP_XDS_AGENTBooleanfalseIf set to true, agent retrieves the bootstrap configuration prior to starting Envoy
CA_ADDRStringAddress of the spiffe certificate provider. Defaults to discoveryAddress
CA_PROVIDERStringCitadelname of authentication provider
CA_ROOT_CAStringExplicitly set the root CA to expect for the CA connection.
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
CLOUD_PLATFORMStringCloud Platform on which proxy is running, if not specified, Istio will try to discover the platform. Valid platform values are aws, azure, gcp, none
CLUSTER_IDStringKubernetesDefines the cluster and service registry that this Istiod instance is belongs to
CREDENTIAL_FETCHER_TYPEStringJWTThe type of the credential fetcher. Currently supported types include GoogleComputeEngine
CREDENTIAL_IDENTITY_PROVIDERStringGoogleComputeEngineThe identity provider for credential. Currently default supported identity provider is GoogleComputeEngine
DISABLE_ENVOYBooleanfalseDisables all Envoy agent features.
DNS_FORWARD_PARALLELBooleanfalseIf set to true, agent will send parallel DNS queries to all upstream nameservers
DNS_PROXY_ADDRStringlocalhost:15053Custom address for the DNS proxy. If it ends with :53 and running as root allows running without iptable DNS capture
DRY_RUN_FILE_PATHStringIf provided, StdoutStubDependencies will write the input from stdin to the given file.
ECC_CURVEStringP256The elliptic curve to use when ECC_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHM is set to ECDSA
ECC_SIGNATURE_ALGORITHMStringThe type of ECC signature algorithm to use when generating private keys
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_PROBE_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTIONSBooleanfalseIf enabled, readiness probes will keep the connection from pilot-agent to the application alive. This mirrors older Istio versions' behaviors, but not kubelet's.
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.

INJECTION_WEBHOOK_CONFIG_NAMEStringistio-sidecar-injectorName of the mutatingwebhookconfiguration to patch, if istioctl is not used.
INSTANCE_IPString
INVALID_DROPBooleanfalseIf set to true, enable the invalid drop iptables rule, default false will cause iptables reset out of window packets
IPTABLES_TRACE_LOGGINGBooleanfalseWhen enable, all iptables actions will be logged. This requires NET_ADMIN privilege and has noisy logs; as a result, this is intended for debugging only
ISTIOD_CUSTOM_HOSTStringCustom host name of istiod that istiod signs the server cert. Multiple custom host names are supported, and multiple values are separated by commas.
ISTIOD_SANStringOverride the ServerName used to validate Istiod certificate. Can be used as an alternative to setting /etc/hosts for VMs - discovery address will be an IP:port
ISTIO_AGENT_DUAL_STACKBooleanfalseEnable pilot-agent to work in dual-stack clusters

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_DRAINING_LABELStringistio.io/drainingIf not empty, endpoints with the label value present will be sent with status DRAINING.
PILOT_ENABLE_ALPHA_GATEWAY_APIBooleanfalseIf this is set to true, support for alpha APIs in the 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_ALPN_FILTERBooleantrueIf true, pilot will add Istio ALPN filters, required for proper protocol sniffing.
PILOT_ENABLE_AMBIENT_CONTROLLERSBooleanfalseIf enabled, controllers required for ambient will run. This is required to run ambient mesh.
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_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_GATEWAY_API_DEPLOYMENT_CONTROLLERBooleantrueIf this is set to true, gateway-api resources will automatically provision in cluster deployment, services, etc
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.
