Resource (CPU and Memory) limits for the sidecar

1

Hi All,

Is there any way to set the resource limits for Istio proxy sidecar? We are actually enforcing limits from Azure policy on every application pods and it is getting failed because of the proxy default limits.

   spec.template.metadata.annotations:
            sidecar.istio.io/proxyCPULimit:
            sidecar.istio.io/proxyMemoryLimit:
            sidecar.istio.io/proxyCPU:
            sidecar.istio.io/proxyMemory:

The istio sidecar is pretty cpu heavy. It makes up for most of our CPU usage in the cluster…
Looking forward to Cilium (eBPF) but who has the time…
