Envoy Header-To-Metadata Filter

    • This filter should be configured with the name envoy.filters.http.header_to_metadata.

    A typical use case for this filter is to dynamically match requests with load balancer subsets. For this, a given header’s value would be extracted and attached to the request as dynamic metadata which would then be used to match a subset of endpoints.

    A corresponding upstream cluster configuration could be:

    1.   - name: versioned-cluster
    2.     type: EDS
    4.     lb_subset_config:
    6.         - keys:
    7.             - default
