## Making changes

## Step 1. Make changes in charts and values.yaml in `manifests` directory

Be sure to provide sufficient documentation and example usage in values.yaml.
If the chart has a `values.schema.json`, that should be updated as well.

## Step 2. Update the istioctl/Operator values

If you are modifying the `gateway` chart, you can stop here.

```console
helm install istio-base -n istio-system manifests/charts/base --set profile=openshift
```

2) `istio-cni` chart installs the CNI plugin. This should be installed after the `base` chart and prior to `istiod` chart. Need to add `--set pilot.cni.enabled=true` to the `istiod` install to enable its usage.

```console
helm install istio-cni -n kube-system manifests/charts/istio-cni --set profile=openshift
```

	find ./manifests/charts/gateways/istio-egress/templates -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/Ingress/Egress/g' {} \;

	# external istiod remote cluster charts
	cp manifests/charts/base/templates/services.yaml manifests/charts/istiod-remote/templates
	cp manifests/charts/base/templates/endpoints.yaml manifests/charts/istiod-remote/templates

#### Legacy Gateway Helm charts

Istio historically offered two different charts - `manifests/charts/gateways/istio-ingress` and `manifests/charts/gateways/istio-egress`.
These are replaced by this chart.
While not required, it is recommended all new users use this chart, and existing users migrate when possible.

This chart has the following benefits and differences:

    - object-storage
    - s3
    - cluster

This folder provides a variety of "profiles" for helm installation.
While a user can just explicitly pass this with `--values/-f`.

However, Istio also provides a feature to bundle these with the charts, which is convenient when installing from remote charts.
For details, see `copy-templates` Makefile target, and `manifests/zzz_profile.yaml`.

Any changes to this folder should have a `make copy-templates` applied afterwards.

# Istio Ztunnel Helm Chart

compatible with the older charts in [istio/istio](https://github.com/istio/istio/tree/1.4.7/install/kubernetes/helm).
