In our testing, even the most generous representations give custom types a 10x edge (in size, allocations, and CPU time) over Envoy types.
In addition, they are more clear and strictly typed; using Envoy types would require us to put a lot of information in untyped `metadata` maps.

With this in mind, Ztunnel supports two xDS resources: `Address` and `Authorization`.

### Writing controllers

Istio provides a few helper libraries to get started writing a controller. While these libraries help, there are still a lot of subtleties in correctly writing (and testing!) a controller properly.

To get started writing a controller, review the [Example Controller](../../pkg/kube/controllers/example_test.go).
