- `install-cni` container
    - copies `istio-cni` and `istio-iptables` to `/opt/cni/bin`
    - creates kubeconfig for the service account the pod runs under
    - periodically copy the K8S JWT token for istio-cni on the host to connect to K8S.
    - injects the CNI plugin config to the CNI config file
        - CNI installer will try to look for the config file under the mounted CNI net dir based on file name extensions (`.conf`, `.conflist`)

Helm.
Each Istio component has K8s settings, and these can be overridden from the defaults using official K8s APIs rather than
Istio defined schemas ([samples/pilot-k8s.yaml](samples/pilot-k8s.yaml)):

```yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
  components:
    pilot:
      k8s:
        resources:
          requests:

**NOTE:** The environment variable `ISTIO_CLUSTER_ISGKE` is assumed to be set to `true` if the cluster
is a GKE cluster.

```bash
ISTIO_CNI_ARGS=
# TODO: What k8s data can we use for this check for whether GKE?
if [[ "${ISTIO_CLUSTER_ISGKE}" == "true" ]]; then
    ISTIO_CNI_ARGS="--set cni.cniBinDir=/home/kubernetes/bin"
fi
iop kube-system istio-cni $IBASE/istio-cni/ ${ISTIO_CNI_ARGS}

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.
