     7    **Updated** XDS connections from Envoy will be proxied through the Istio sidecar agent. Doing so allows
     8    for consolidation of multiple connections from a pod to Istiod into a single connection, in addition to
     9    other planned future improvements. This feature (and change) is transparent to users and is enabled by default.
    10    It can be disabled by setting the following in the Istio Operator: meshConfig.defaultConfig.proxyMetadata.PROXY_XDS_VIA_AGENT="false".
