## Sidecar Mode Implementation Details

Istio CNI injection is currently based on the same Pod annotations used in init-container/inject mode.

### Selection API

- plugin config "exclude namespaces" applies first
- ambient is enabled if:

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.

Each component in the new installer is optional. Users can install the component defined in the new installer,
use the equivalent component in `istio-system`, configured with the official installer, or use a different
version or implementation.

For example, you may use your own Prometheus and Grafana installs, or you may use a specialized/custom
certificate provisioning tool, or use components that are centrally managed and running in a different cluster.

That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.

## Issue management

We use GitHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:
