Quick Build
-------
If you want to bootstrap Maven, you'll need:
- Java 17+
- Maven 3.6.3 or later
- Run Maven, specifying a location into which the completed Maven distro should be installed:
    ```

1. Check k8s pod namespace against exclusion list (plugin config)
    - Config must exclude namespace that Istio control-plane is installed in (TODO: this may change, exclude at pod level is sufficient and we may want Istiod and other istio components to use ambient too)
    - If excluded, ignore the pod and return prevResult
1. Setup redirect rules for the pods:
    - Get the port list from pods definition, as well as annotations.

We'll explain everything via an example. Let's say you make some changes on your branch `myTestBranch`
(we highly recommend to name this branch without prefix and hyphen (`-`) because it's used to generate build type ID) and want to
test these changes without affecting `master`/`release` pipeline. Here are the instructions.
