kubectl create ns istio-system
kubectl apply -f operator/samples/default-install.yaml
```

This installs the controller into the cluster in the istio-operator namespace. The controller in turns installs
the Istio control plane into the istio-system namespace by default.

### Controller (running locally)

#### From a specific node syslog

The CNI plugins are executed by threads in the `kubelet` process.  The CNI plugins logs end up the syslog
under the `kubelet` process. On systems with `journalctl` the following is an example command line
to view the last 1000 `kubelet` logs via the `less` utility to allow for `vi`-style searching:

```console
$ journalctl -t kubelet -n 1000 | less
```
