## Installing

The new installer is intended to be modular and very explicit about what is installed. It has
far more steps than the Istio installer - but each step is smaller and focused on a specific
feature, and can be performed by different people/teams at different times.

It is strongly recommended that different namespaces are used, with different service accounts.

As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.

`priorityClassName` can be used. You can install in other namespace only on K8S clusters that allow
'system-node-critical' outside of kube-system.

## Configuration

To view support configuration options and documentation, run:

```console
helm show values istio/istio-cni
```

### Profiles

As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.
That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.

### Examples

#### Configuring mesh configuration settings

         alt="Istio logo" title="Istio" height="100" width="100" />

If you have AuthorizationPolicies that reference port these ports, you should update them during this process,
or customize the ports to match the old defaults.
