- on pod add, determines whether pod should have netns setup to redirect to Istio proxy. See [cmdAdd](#cmdadd-workflow) for detailed logic.
        - it connects to K8S using the kubeconfig and JWT token copied from install-cni to get Pod and Namespace. Since this is a short-running command, each invocation creates a new connection.
        - If so, calls `istio-iptables` with params to setup pod netns
        - If ambient, sets up the ambient logic.

### Install Istio CRDs

This is the first step of the installation. Please do not remove or edit any CRD - config currently requires
all CRDs to be present. On each upgrade it is recommended to reapply the file, to make sure
you get all CRDs.  CRDs are separated by release and by component type in the CRD directory.

Istio has strong integration with certmanager.  Some operators may want to keep their current certmanager
