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_FLOW_CONTROL | Boolean | false | If enabled, pilot will wait for the completion of a receive operation beforeexecuting a push operation. This is a form of flow control and is useful inenvironments with high rates of push requests to each gateway. By default,this is false. |
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_K8S_SELECT_WORKLOAD_ENTRIES | Boolean | true | If enabled, Kubernetes services with selectors will select workload entries with matching labels. It is safe to disable it if you are quite sure you don't need this feature |
PILOT_ENABLE_LEGACY_AUTO_PASSTHROUGH | Boolean | false | If enabled, pilot will allow any upstream cluster to be used with AUTO_PASSTHROUGH. This option is intended for backwards compatibility only and is not secure with untrusted downstreams; it will be removed in the future. |
PILOT_ENABLE_LOOP_BLOCKER | Boolean | true | If enabled, Envoy will be configured to prevent traffic directly the the inbound/outbound ports (15001/15006). This prevents traffic loops. This option will be removed, and considered always enabled, in 1.9. |

PILOT_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_SNIFFING_FOR_INBOUND | Boolean | true | If enabled, protocol sniffing will be used for inbound listeners whose port protocol is not specified or unsupported |
PILOT_ENABLE_PROTOCOL_SNIFFING_FOR_OUTBOUND | Boolean | true | If enabled, protocol sniffing will be used for outbound listeners whose port protocol is not specified or unsupported |

PILOT_ENABLE_STATUS | Boolean | false | If enabled, pilot will update the CRD Status field of all istio resources with reconciliation status. |
PILOT_ENABLE_THRIFT_FILTER | Boolean | false | EnableThriftFilter enables injection of `envoy.filters.network.thrift_proxy` in the filter chain. |
PILOT_ENABLE_UNSAFE_RUNTIME_ASSERTIONS | Boolean | false | If 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. |
PILOT_ENABLE_VIRTUAL_SERVICE_DELEGATE | Boolean | true | If set to false, virtualService delegate will not be supported. |
PILOT_ENABLE_WORKLOAD_ENTRY_AUTOREGISTRATION | Boolean | false | Enables auto-registering WorkloadEntries based on associated WorkloadGroups upon XDS connection by the workload. |
PILOT_ENABLE_WORKLOAD_ENTRY_HEALTHCHECKS | Boolean | false | Enables automatic health checks of WorkloadEntries based on the config provided in the associated WorkloadGroup |
PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_CACHE | Boolean | true | If true, Pilot will cache XDS responses. |
PILOT_ENABLE_XDS_IDENTITY_CHECK | Boolean | true | If enabled, pilot will authorize XDS clients, to ensure they are acting only as namespaces they have permissions for. |
PILOT_ENDPOINT_TELEMETRY_LABEL | Boolean | true | If true, pilot will add telemetry related metadata to Endpoint resource, which will be consumed by telemetry filter. |
PILOT_FILTER_GATEWAY_CLUSTER_CONFIG | Boolean | false | |
PILOT_FLOW_CONTROL_TIMEOUT | Time Duration | 15s | If set, the max amount of time to delay a push by. Depends on PILOT_ENABLE_FLOW_CONTROL. |
PILOT_HTTP10 | Boolean | false | Enables the use of HTTP 1.0 in the outbound HTTP listeners, to support legacy applications. |
PILOT_INBOUND_PROTOCOL_DETECTION_TIMEOUT | Time Duration | 1s | Protocol detection timeout for inbound listener |
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_REMOTE_CLUSTER_TIMEOUT | Time Duration | 30s | After this timeout expires, pilot can become ready without syncing data from clusters added via remote-secrets. Setting the timeout to 0 disables this behavior. |
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_SIDECAR_ENABLE_INBOUND_TLS_V2 | Boolean | true | If true, Pilot will set the TLS version on server side as TLSv1_2 and also enforce strong cipher suites |
PILOT_SIDECAR_USE_REMOTE_ADDRESS | Boolean | false | UseRemoteAddress sets useRemoteAddress to true for side car outbound listeners. |

PILOT_STATUS_MAX_WORKERS | Integer | 100 | The maximum number of workers Pilot will use to keep configuration status up to date. Smaller numbers will result in higher status latency, but larger numbers may impact CPU in high scale environments. |
PILOT_STATUS_QPS | Floating-Point | 100 | If status is enabled, controls the QPS with which status will be updated. See https://godoc.org/k8s.io/client-go/rest#Config QPS |
PILOT_TRACE_SAMPLING | Floating-Point | 1 | Sets the mesh-wide trace sampling percentage. Should be 0.0 - 100.0. Precision to 0.01. Default is 1.0. |
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. |
PILOT_XDS_CACHE_SIZE | Integer | 20000 | The maximum number of cache entries for the XDS cache. |

POD_NAME | String | | |
POD_NAMESPACE | String | istio-system | |

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. |
TOKEN_AUDIENCES | String | istio-ca | A list of comma separated audiences to check in the JWT token before issuing a certificate. The token is accepted if it matches with one of the audiences |
TOKEN_ISSUER | String | | OIDC token issuer. If set, will be used to check the tokens. |
USE_REMOTE_CERTS | Boolean | false | Whether to try to load CA certs from a remote Kubernetes cluster. Used for external Istiod. |
VALIDATION_ENABLED | Boolean | true | Enable config validation handler. |
VALIDATION_WEBHOOK_CONFIG_NAME | String | istiod-${namespace} | Name of validatingwebhookconfiguration to patch. Empty will skip using cluster admin to patch. |
XDS_AUTH | Boolean | true | If true, will authenticate XDS clients. |
