1. By running as a node-level daemonset that:

- listens for these UDS events from the CNI plugin (which fire when new pods are spawned in an ambient-enabled namespace), and adds those pods to the ambient mesh.
- watches k8s resource for existing pods, so that pods that have already been started can be moved in or out of the ambient mesh.

- [HorizontalPodAutoscaler](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/)
- [PodDisruptionBudget](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/disruptions/#how-disruption-budgets-work)
- [pod annotations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/)

certificates](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/network-encryption.html).

For a [distributed MinIO setup](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/installation.html#procedure), where there are multiple pods with different domain names expected to run, you will either need wildcard certificates valid for all the domains or have specific certificates for each domain. If you are going to use specific certificates, make sure to create Kubernetes secrets accordingly....

and set `networkPolicy.enabled` to `true`.

For Kubernetes v1.5 & v1.6, you must also turn on NetworkPolicy by setting
the DefaultDeny namespace annotation. Note: this will enforce policy for *all* pods in the namespace:

```
kubectl annotate namespace default "net.beta.kubernetes.io/network-policy={\"ingress\":{\"isolation\":\"DefaultDeny\"}}"
```

```console
helm install istio-cni istio/cni -n kube-system
```

Installation in `kube-system` is recommended to ensure the [`system-node-critical`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/guaranteed-scheduling-critical-addon-pods/)
`priorityClassName` can be used. You can install in other namespace only on K8S clusters that allow
'system-node-critical' outside of kube-system.
