### Overview

- [istio-cni Helm chart](../manifests/charts/istio-cni/templates)
    - `install-cni` daemonset - main function is to install and help the node CNI, but it is also a proper server and interacts with K8S, watching Pods for recovery.
    - `istio-cni-config` configmap with CNI plugin config to add to CNI plugin chained config

When you install `fastapi` it comes these standard dependencies.

## `fastapi-slim`

If you don't want the extra standard optional dependencies, install `fastapi-slim` instead.

When you install with:

```bash
pip install fastapi
```

...it includes the same code and dependencies as:

```bash
pip install "fastapi-slim[standard]"
```
