## Sidecar Mode Implementation Details

Istio CNI injection is currently based on the same Pod annotations used in init-container/inject mode.

### Selection API

- plugin config "exclude namespaces" applies first
- ambient is enabled if:
    - namespace label "istio.io/dataplane-mode" == "ambient" is required (may change for 'on-by-default' mode)

1. Set env $WATCH_NAMESPACE (default value is "istio-system") and $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE (default value is "istio-operator")

1. Create the `WATCH_NAMESPACE` and `LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE` if they are not created yet.

```bash
kubectl create ns $WATCH_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl create ns $LEADER_ELECTION_NAMESPACE --dry-run -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
```

you can set the storage class of an object via request metadata field `x-amz-storage-class`. MinIO server then honors the storage class by
saving the object in specific number of data and parity drives.

## Storage usage

The selection of varying data and parity drives has a direct impact on the drive space usage. With storage class, you can optimize for high
redundancy or better drive space utilization.
