* Ensure traffic between mesh workloads is securely encrypted with an Istio identity.
* Be lightweight enough to not limit adoption.
  * This puts a much tighter budget on CPU, memory, latency, and throughput requirements than traditional Istio sidecars.

Ztunnel was not designed to be a feature-rich data plane.

The details for the deployment & installation of this plugin were pretty much lifted directly from the
[Calico CNI plugin](https://github.com/projectcalico/cni-plugin).

1. First, the request is handled by the SDS server. This is mostly just an intermediate translation layer exposing
   the `SecretManager` to Envoy, without much business logic. For each resource requested by Envoy, the SDS server
   will call `SecretManager.GenerateSecret(resourceName)`
