by a different role than the prod version.

The intended users of this repo are users running Istio in production who want to select, tune
and understand each binary that gets deployed, and select which combination to use.

Note: each component can be installed in parallel with an existing Istio 1.0 or 1.1 installation in

```bash
istioctl profile dump --filename samples/pilot-k8s.yaml
```

#### Select a specific configuration profile

The simplest customization is to select a profile different to `default` e.g. `minimal`. See [manifests/profiles/minimal.yaml](../manifests/profiles/minimal.yaml):

```yaml
# minimal-install.yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
