PILOT_ENABLED_SERVICE_APIS | Boolean | false | If this is set to true, support for Kubernetes service-apis (github.com/kubernetes-sigs/service-apis) will be enabled. This feature is currently experimental, and is off by default. |
PILOT_ENABLE_ANALYSIS | Boolean | false | If enabled, pilot will run istio analyzers and write analysis errors to the Status field of any Istio Resources |
PILOT_ENABLE_CONFIG_DISTRIBUTION_TRACKING | Boolean | true | If 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_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_SERVICEENTRY_SELECT_PODS | Boolean | true | If 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_STATUS | Boolean | false | If enabled, pilot will update the CRD Status field of all istio resources with reconciliation status. |
PILOT_ENABLE_TCP_METADATA_EXCHANGE | Boolean | true | If enabled, metadata exchange will be enabled for TCP using ALPN and Network Metadata Exchange filters in Envoy |
PILOT_ENABLE_THRIFT_FILTER | Boolean | false | EnableThriftFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.thrift_proxy` in the filter chain. |
PILOT_ENABLE_VIRTUAL_SERVICE_DELEGATE | Boolean | false | If enabled, Pilot will merge virtual services with delegates. By default, this is false, and virtualService with delegate will be ignored |

PILOT_INITIAL_FETCH_TIMEOUT | Time Duration | 0s | Specifies the initial_fetch_timeout for config. If this time is reached without a response to the config requested by Envoy, the Envoy will move on with the init phase. This prevents envoy from getting stuck waiting on config during startup. |
PILOT_PUSH_THROTTLE | Integer | 100 | Limits the number of concurrent pushes allowed. On larger machines this can be increased for faster pushes |
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_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 |
POD_NAMESPACE | String | istio-system | Namespace for the Mixer pod (Downward API). |
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 |
TERMINATION_DRAIN_DURATION_SECONDS | Integer | 5 | The amount of time allowed for connections to complete on pilot-agent shutdown. On receiving SIGTERM or SIGINT, pilot-agent tells the active Envoy to start draining, preventing any new connections and allowing existing connections to complete. It then sleeps for the TerminationDrainDuration and then kills any remaining active Envoy processes. |
XDS_AUTH | Boolean | true | If true, will authenticate XDS clients. |
