**FastAPI**'s `UploadFile` inherits directly from **Starlette**'s `UploadFile`, but adds some necessary parts to make it compatible with **Pydantic** and the other parts of FastAPI.

## What is "Form Data"

The way HTML forms (`<form></form>`) sends the data to the server normally uses a "special" encoding for that data, it's different from JSON.

**FastAPI** will make sure to read that data from the right place instead of JSON.

1. Config ingestion (inputs to the system)
1. Config translation
1. Config serving (XDS)

### Config Ingestion

Istio reads from over 20 different resources types, and aggregates them together to build the proxy configuration. These resources can be sourced from Kubernetes (via watches), files, or over xDS; Kubernetes is by far the most common usage, though.

Primarily for historical reasons, ingestion is split into a few components.
