Additionally, extensions may rely on well-know dynamic metadata emitted by previous filters, such as verified JWT subject and issuer. Finally, extensions may emit dynamic metadata that will be consumed by other extensions, access logs, etc.
For out-of-process extensions like ext-proc, Envoy must be explicitly configured to allow access to attributes and metadata and define the scope of access.
This API will allow users to define:
