With a few exceptions, Istio controllers typically are split in two phases: construction and running.

Construction should create informers (via `kclient.New`), setup a queue (via `controllers.NewQueue`), and register event handlers on the informers.
Often, these handlers are adding something to the queue like `client.AddEventHandler(controllers.ObjectHandler(queue.AddObject))`.

	// Note: we do not rely on istio env package to retrieve configuration. We relies on viper.
	// This is just to make sure the reference doc tool can generate doc with these vars as env variable at istio.io.
