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.

# Ztunnel

This document provides an overview of the architecture and design decisions around Ztunnel, the node-proxy component in ambient mode.

## Background and motivation

Motivations to implement ztunnel generally came from two areas.

First, and most importantly, it serves as a means to implement the real goal: waypoints.

  // For example:
  //   - "/healthz" is legal
  //   - "/hea*" is illegal
  //   - "/hea" is legal but matches nothing
  //   - "/hea/*" also matches nothing
  //   - "/healthz/*" matches all per-component health checks.
  // "*" matches all non-resource urls. if it is present, it must be the only entry.
  // +listType=set
  // Required.
  repeated string nonResourceURLs = 6;
}

  // For example:
  //   - "/healthz" is legal
  //   - "/hea*" is illegal
  //   - "/hea" is legal but matches nothing
  //   - "/hea/*" also matches nothing
  //   - "/healthz/*" matches all per-component health checks.
  // "*" matches all non-resource urls. if it is present, it must be the only entry.
  // +listType=set
  // Required.
  repeated string nonResourceURLs = 6;
}

}

// Information about the condition of a component.
message ComponentCondition {
  // Type of condition for a component.
  // Valid value: "Healthy"
  optional string type = 1;

  // Status of the condition for a component.
  // Valid values for "Healthy": "True", "False", or "Unknown".
  optional string status = 2;

  // Message about the condition for a component.
  // For example, information about a health check.

  // ResourceClaimStatus this ResourceHandle is embedded in.
  optional string driverName = 1;

  // Data contains the opaque data associated with this ResourceHandle. It is
  // set by the controller component of the resource driver whose name
  // matches the DriverName set in the ResourceClaimStatus this
  // ResourceHandle is embedded in. It is set at allocation time and is

  // If the finalizer list is processed in order, then this can lead to a situation
  // in which the component responsible for the first finalizer in the list is
  // waiting for a signal (field value, external system, or other) produced by a
  // component responsible for a finalizer later in the list, resulting in a deadlock.
  // Without enforced ordering finalizers are free to order amongst themselves and
