IstioOperator CR.
1. The controller has additional logic that mirrors istioctl commands like upgrade, but is driven from the declarative
API rather than command line.

### Quick tour of CLI commands

#### Flags

The `istioctl` command supports the following flags:

- `dry-run`: console output only, nothing applied to cluster or written to files.

        - it connects to K8S using the kubeconfig and JWT token copied from install-cni to get Pod and Namespace. Since this is a short-running command, each invocation creates a new connection.
        - If so, calls `istio-iptables` with params to setup pod netns
        - If ambient, sets up the ambient logic.

- `istio-iptables`

# Output control
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Invoke make VERBOSE=1 to enable echoing of the command being executed
export VERBOSE ?= 0
# Place the variable Q in front of a command to control echoing of the command being executed.
Q = $(if $(filter 1,$VERBOSE),,@)
# Use the variable H to add a header (equivalent to =>) to informational output
H = $(shell printf "\033[34;1m=>\033[0m")

  // As Kubernetes 1.15 doesn't support this field, drivers can only support one mode when
  // deployed on such a cluster and the deployment determines which mode that is, for example
  // via a command line parameter of the driver.

  // This field is immutable.
  //
  // +optional
  optional bool podInfoOnMount = 2;

  // volumeLifecycleModes defines what kind of volumes this CSI volume driver supports.

## CLI

The CLI `mesh` command is implemented in the [cmd/mesh](../operator/cmd/mesh/)
subdirectory as a Cobra command with the following subcommands:
