* external\_hostname | string

  The DNS name to be used by Istio ingress.
  If unspecified, the gateway ingress ip address will be used, e.g,
  as provided by MetalLB. This needs to be a `bare` hostname: i.e.
  no schema prefix and no port.
  Hostname can be “precise” which is a domain name without the terminating dot of a network host (e.g. “foo.example.com”).
  It's also important to note that domain name prefixed with a single wildcard label (e.g. \*.example.com) isn't supported for now.
* ready-timeout | int

  Default: 100

  The maximum time (in seconds) to wait for the gateway deployment to be ready. This applies specifically to the deployment/LB created for the Istio gateway controller. If the deployment does not become ready within this time, charm will go into blocked state.
