Description

I am in the process of testing port to cilium service mesh and CNI from AWS CNI and Istio. One of the requirements is to enable security headers for all responses out of a cluster. It has been achieved in Istio using an approach similar to https://gist.github.com/kabute/ef8e7198031c8a99212a629a139ac83f .

I am trying to achieve the same on cilium cluster mesh using CiliumEnvoyConfig and noticed that the Lua filter is not activated. Would it be possible to please activate it? I think this will simplify the migration from Istio to Cilium .

Research direction

Start with the CiliumEnvoyConfig usage described in the issue and compare the requested behavior with the linked Istio Lua-filter example. Done means the Lua filter is available for Cilium service-mesh configuration and can support adding security headers to cluster responses.
