This allows configuration without re-installing or restarting deployments.

If the change is to a Kubernetes field (such as modifying a Deployment attribute), it will likely need to be install-time configuration.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean a PR to add a value will be accepted.
The `values.yaml` API is intended to maintain a *minimal core set of configuration* that most users will use.

  //
  // For example, if deployments can be modified via apps/v1 and apps/v1beta1, and a webhook registered a rule of
  // `apiGroups:["apps"], apiVersions:["v1"], resources: ["deployments"]` and `matchPolicy: Equivalent`,
  // an API request to apps/v1beta1 deployments would be converted and sent to the webhook

  // Maximal length of the note is 1kB, but libraries should be prepared to
  // handle values up to 64kB.

  // type is the type of this event (Normal, Warning), new types could be added in the future.
  // It is machine-readable.
  // This field cannot be empty for new Events.
  optional string type = 11;

    ISTIO_META_DNS_CAPTURE: "false"
    # should be overridden by the annotation on the WorkloadGroup
    PROXY_CONFIG_ANNOT_VALUE: "foo"
    # should be in the final cluster.env/mesh.yaml

  // globalDefault specifies whether this PriorityClass should be considered as
  // the default priority for pods that do not have any priority class.
  // Only one PriorityClass can be marked as `globalDefault`. However, if more than
  // one PriorityClasses exists with their `globalDefault` field set to true,
  // the smallest value of such global default PriorityClasses will be used as the default priority.
  // +optional

message Scheduling {
  // nodeSelector lists labels that must be present on nodes that support this
  // RuntimeClass. Pods using this RuntimeClass can only be scheduled to a
  // node matched by this selector. The RuntimeClass nodeSelector is merged
  // with a pod's existing nodeSelector. Any conflicts will cause the pod to
  // be rejected in admission.
