# Istiod Helm Chart

This chart installs an Istiod deployment.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

Before installing, ensure CRDs are installed in the cluster (from the `istio/base` chart).

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

Explicitly set values have highest priority, then profile settings, then chart defaults.

As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.

- Helm Chart: MinIO Helm Chart offers customizable and easy MinIO deployment with a single command. Refer [MinIO Helm Chart documentation](https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/master/helm/minio) for more details.

The `values.yaml` API is intended to maintain a *minimal core set of configuration* that most users will use.
For bespoke use cases, [Helm Chart Customization](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/customize-installation-helm/#advanced-helm-chart-customization) can be used
to allow arbitrary customizations.

# Istio Ztunnel Helm Chart

This chart installs an Istio ztunnel.

## Setup Repo Info

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart:

```console
helm install ztunnel istio/ztunnel
```

## Uninstalling the Chart

-- simplified configuration
-- multiple versions of the ingress can be used, to minimize upgrade risks

- the new chart uses the default namespace service account, and doesn't require
additional RBAC permissions.

- simplified label and chart structure.
- ability to run a pilot dedicated for the gateway, isolated from the main pilot. This is more robust, safer on upgrades
and allows a bit more flexibility.

1) `base` chart creates cluster-wide CRDs, cluster bindings and cluster resources. It is possible to change the namespace from `istio-system` but it is not recommended.

```console
helm install istio-base -n istio-system manifests/charts/base --set profile=openshift
```
