Description:

We're running a caching AWS ECR for all 3rd party images and would like Envoy Proxy to pull its image from it, without having to pin the image tag/version, and let Envoy Gateway decide on the tag/version.

Currently it's possible to configure the Envoy Proxy image, but only as a single repository + tag combination.
The "KubernetesContainerSpec" has an "image" string parameter, which we set like:

  provider:
    type: Kubernetes
    kubernetes:
      envoyDeployment:
        container:
          image: 1234.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/envoyproxy/envoy:v1.33.1

As you can see, the "image" must include the tag. There is no separate fields for repository and tag.

Being able to specify repository and tag separately, is a common pattern.

It would be great if following Envoy Proxy configuration would be supported:

  provider:
    type: Kubernetes
    kubernetes:
      envoyDeployment:
        container:
          image:
            repository: 1234.dkr.ecr.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dockerhub/envoyproxy/envoy
            tag: v1.33.1
