# Istio CNI Node Agent

The Istio CNI Node Agent is responsible for several things

- Install an Istio CNI plugin binary on each node's filesystem, updating that node's CNI config in e.g (`/etc/cni/net.d`), and watching the config and binary paths to reinstall if things are modified.

		if cfg.InstallConfig.AmbientEnabled {
			// Start ambient controller

			// node agent will spawn a goroutine and watch the K8S API for events,
			// as well as listen for messages from the CNI binary.
			log.Info("Starting ambient node agent with inpod redirect mode")
			ambientAgent, err := nodeagent.NewServer(ctx, watchServerReady, cfg.InstallConfig.CNIEventAddress,
				nodeagent.AmbientArgs{

        // configProps map is kept "pristine", is written ONLY, the mandatory resolver config
        Map<String, Object> configProps = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        configProps.put(ConfigurationProperties.USER_AGENT, getUserAgent());
        configProps.put(ConfigurationProperties.INTERACTIVE, request.isInteractiveMode());
        configProps.put("maven.startTime", request.getStartTime());
