### Gateways

A cluster may use multiple Gateways, each with a different load balancer IP, domains and certificates.

Since the domain certificates are stored in the gateway namespace, it is recommended to keep each
gateway in a dedicated namespace and restrict access.

- **Istiod** - The Istio control plane. It provides service discovery, configuration and certificate management. It consists of the following sub-components:

    - **Pilot** - Responsible for configuring the proxies at runtime.

    - **Citadel** - Responsible for certificate issuance and rotation.
