  • support for Envoy sidecar image version 1.15.x
  • configurable readiness and pre-stop settings
  • default opt-in and opt-out options for sidecar injection per namespace
  • optional resource limits for sidecar and init containers
  • configurable X-Ray sidecar image
  • configurable DNS TTL value of services using AWS Cloud Map.
