## Issue management

We use GitHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:

- **Epic**. An epic represents a feature area for Istio as a whole. Epics are fairly broad in scope and are basically product-level things.

As an extreme, the goal is to be possible to run Istio workloads in a cluster without installing any Istio component

### Install Istio CRDs

This is the first step of the installation. Please do not remove or edit any CRD - config currently requires
