In the end, [after evaluation](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c2123cKuYsBDpIon9FFdctWTUIMFweSjgwG7r8l3818/edit), the decision was to move forward with a Rust implementation.
This offered performance benefits that were too large to leave on the table, as well as opportunities to tune to our specific needs.

## Configuration protocol

```

### Profiles

Istio Helm charts have a concept of a `profile`, which is a bundled collection of value presets.
These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.
For example, the `demo` profile offers a preset configuration to try out Istio in a test environment, with additional features enabled and lowered resource requirements.

For consistency, the same profiles are used across each chart, even if they do not impact a given chart.
