     9    **Added** canonical service tags to Envoy-generated trace spans.

    11    - title: Service Tags added to trace spans
    12      content: |
    13        Istio now configures Envoy to include tags identifying the canonical service for a workload in generated trace spans.
    14  
    15        This will lead to a small increase in storage per span for tracing backends.
    16  
    17        To disable these additional tags, modify the 'istiod' deployment to set an environment variable of `PILOT_ENABLE_ISTIO_TAGS=false`.
