#### 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:

component of Ambient mesh.

## Issue management

We use GitHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:

- **Epic**. An epic represents a feature area for Istio as a whole. Epics are fairly broad in scope and are basically product-level things.
Each issue is ultimately part of an epic.

# loading pattern specified by *kubectl config*.

# testcase: "a:b c:d"
# testcase: "a b:c d:e f"
# testcase: "a b:c:d e"

    remainder="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"
    if [[ ! "$remainder" =~ ([^:]*):(.*) ]]; then
      if [[ -n "$remainder" ]]; then

Apart from validating the correctness of individual fields, the operator ensure that relationships between values in
different parts of the configuration tree are correct. For example, it's an error to enable a component while its
parent feature is disabled.
