## PeerAuthentication and the Waypoint Proxy

(Note: this section is not yet implemented and is dependent upon discussion in the [ztunnel hairpinning doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uM1c3zzoehiijh1ZpZuJ1-SzuVVupenv8r5yuCaFshs/edit#heading=h.dwbqvwmg6ud3))

* For large API changes, 2 members of the TOC must approve the PR before release manager approval in the release branch
  of the istio/api repository. This does not have to wait for the weekly TOC meeting.
    * Risk should be assessed in the PR.
        * Have installs and upgrades affected by this feature?
        * Is the feature still being worked on?
        * Is the default behavior altered?

Goals:
- Improve upgrade experience: users should be able to gradually roll upgrades, with proper
canary deployments for Istio components. It should be possible to deploy a new version while keeping the
stable version in place and gradually migrate apps to the new version.

- More flexibility: the new installer allows multiple 'environments', allowing applications to select

	Context    string
	Namespace  string
}

// Inherit the common kubernetes flags defined in the root package. This is a bit of a hack,
// but it allows us to directly get the final values for each of these flags without needing
// to pass pointers-to-flags through all of the (sub)commands.
func (o *KubeOptions) prepare(ctx cli.Context) {
	o.Namespace = ctx.Namespace()
	if o.Namespace == "" {
		o.Namespace = ctx.IstioNamespace()

   while also keeping file watchers on them. Envoy proxy then connects to istio-agent's SDS Server through the defined socket path and gets the cryptographic materials of the certificate files served by the SDS API.
