### Profiles

Istio Helm charts have a concept of a `profile`, which is a bundled collection of value presets.
These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.
For example, the `demo` profile offers a preset configuration to try out Istio in a test environment, with additional features enabled and lowered resource requirements.

helm show values istio/istio-cni
```

#### Review the values of a configuration profile

The following commands show the values of a configuration profile:

```bash
# show available profiles
istioctl profile list

# show the values in demo profile
istioctl profile dump demo

# show the values after a customization file is applied
istioctl profile dump -f samples/pilot-k8s.yaml
