The ambient CNI agent is the only place where ambient network config and pod redirection machinery happens.

```bash
istioctl profile dump --config-path components.pilot
```

- `filename`: set parameters in the configuration file before dumping the resulting profile e.g. show the pilot k8s overlay settings:

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

#### Select a specific configuration profile

The install is organized in 'environments' - each environment consists of a set of components
in different namespaces that are configured to work together. Regardless of 'environment',
workloads can talk with each other and obey the Istio configuration resources, but each environment
can use different Istio versions and different configuration defaults.

```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```

_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._

## Installing the Chart

Before installing, ensure CRDs are installed in the cluster (from the `istio/base` chart).

To install the chart with the release name `istiod`:

```console
kubectl create namespace istio-system

```yaml
service:
  # Egress gateways do not need an external LoadBalancer IP
  type: ClusterIP
```

#### Multi-network/VM Gateway

Deploying a Gateway to be used as a [Multi-network Gateway](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/install/multicluster/) for network `network-1`:

```yaml
networkGateway: network-1
```

### Migrating from other installation methods
