On larger machines this can be increased for faster pushes</td></tr><tr><td><code>PILOT_SCOPE_GATEWAY_TO_NAMESPACE</code></td><td>Boolean</td><td><code>false</code></td><td>If enabled, a gateway workload can only select gateway resources in the same namespace.

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 &lt;trustdomain, endpoint> tuples.
