For large-scale gateways it is optionally possible to use a dedicated pilot in the gateway namespace.

### Additional test templates

A number of helm test setups are general-purpose and should be installable in any cluster, to confirm

That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.

### Examples

#### Configuring mesh configuration settings

Any [Mesh Config](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/istio.mesh.v1alpha1/) options can be configured like below:

```yaml
meshConfig:
  accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
```

#### Revisions

    - **Citadel** - Responsible for certificate issuance and rotation.

    - **Galley** - Responsible for validating, ingesting, aggregating, transforming and distributing config within Istio.

- **Operator** - The component provides user friendly options to operate the Istio service mesh.

## Repositories

The Istio project is divided across a few GitHub repositories:

* Utilizes Gateway injection, simplifying upgrades, allowing gateways to run in any namespace, and avoiding repeating config for sidecars and gateways.
* Published to official Istio Helm repository.
* Single chart for all gateways (Ingress, Egress, East West).
