Installing Istio on a remote cluster that is using an external control plane was previously done by disabling the `base` and `pilot`
    components and enabling the `istiodRemote` component in the IOP:

    {{< text yaml >}}
    components:
      base:
        enabled: false
      pilot:
        enabled: false
      istiodRemote:
        enabled: true
    values:
      global:
        externalIstiod: true

        if res['kind'] != "ConfigMap":
            return res

        data = res['data']

        # some times keys are yamls...
        # so parse them
        for k in data:
            try:
                op = yaml.safe_load_all(data[k])
                data[k] = list(op)
            except yaml.YAMLError as ex:
                print(ex)

        return res
    except KeyError as ke:

{{- $profile := dict }}
{{- with .Values.profile }}
{{- with $.Files.Get (printf "files/profile-%s.yaml" .)}}
{{- $profile = (. | fromYaml) }}
{{- else }}
{{ fail (cat "unknown profile" $.Values.profile) }}
{{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{- with .Values.compatibilityVersion }}
