requests to the agent, causing the agent to submit a CSR to the configured CA (generally Istiod). For other configuration,
Envoy will send [ADS](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/operations/dynamic_configuration#aggregated-xds-ads)
requests to the agent, which will be forwarded to the configured discovery server (general Istiod).

You can see these sources for the compiled-in profiles and charts in the repo under `manifests/`. These profiles and charts are also included in the Istio release tar.

#### Output to dirs

The output of the manifest is concatenated into a single file. To generate a directory hierarchy with subdirectory

For bespoke use cases, [Helm Chart Customization](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/customize-installation-helm/#advanced-helm-chart-customization) can be used to allow arbitrary customizations. If the change truly is generally purpose, it is generally preferred to have broader APIs. For example, instead of providing direct access to each of the complex fields in [affinity](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/), just providing a single `affinity`...
