The guidance for using proxy image types (default and distroless) with Managed Cloud Service Mesh has been updated:

• Directly onboarded clusters using the TRAFFIC_DIRECTOR implementation use distroless proxy images by default, and other image types are not supported. • Migrated clusters (migrated from ISTIOD to TRAFFIC_DIRECTOR) default to default images, but can opt in to distroless images via MeshConfig or the sidecar.istio.io/proxyImageType: distroless Pod annotation.

For more information, see Distroless proxy images and Identify the proxy image type used in the cluster.
