## Sidecar Mode Implementation Details

Istio CNI injection is currently based on the same Pod annotations used in init-container/inject mode.

### Selection API

- plugin config "exclude namespaces" applies first
- ambient is enabled if:
    - namespace label "istio.io/dataplane-mode" == "ambient", and/or pod label "istio.io/dataplane-mode" == "ambient"

  // +optional
  repeated string group = 4;

  // Extra corresponds to the user.Info.GetExtra() method from the authenticator.  Since that is input to the authorizer
  // it needs a reflection here.
  // +optional
  map<string, ExtraValue> extra = 5;

  // UID information about the requesting user.
  // +optional
  optional string uid = 6;
}

// SubjectAccessReviewStatus

  optional k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.LabelSelector selector = 1;

  // An object that describes the pod that will be created.
  // The DaemonSet will create exactly one copy of this pod on every node
  // that matches the template's node selector (or on every node if no node
  // selector is specified).
  // The only allowed template.spec.restartPolicy value is "Always".

1. Set env $WATCH_NAMESPACE (default value is "istio-system") and $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE (default value is "istio-operator")

1. Create the `WATCH_NAMESPACE` and `LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE` if they are not created yet.

```bash
kubectl create ns $WATCH_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl create ns $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

  // object.metadata.labels. If the object is another cluster scoped resource,
  // it never skips the webhook.
  //
  // For example, to run the webhook on any objects whose namespace is not
  // associated with "runlevel" of "0" or "1";  you will set the selector as
  // follows:
  // "namespaceSelector": {
