### Controller (in cluster)

Building a custom controller requires a Dockerhub (or similar) account. To build using the container based build:

```bash
HUB=docker.io/<your-account> TAG=latest make docker.operator
```

This builds the controller binary and docker file, and pushes the image to the specified hub with the `latest` tag.

uthorization.proto). As such, ztunnel does not receive `PeerAuthentication`s directly; when istiod detects a `PeerAuthentication` resource that targets an Ambient captured workload, it computes the effective policy for that workload (taking into account the mesh-wide -> namespace -> workload precedence rules) and sends that policy to ztunnel. The exact details of this conversion is out of scope for this document at the time of writing, but as an example, this `PeerAuthentication`:

```yaml...

However, the identities of the certificates will be of the actual user workloads, not Ztunnel's own identity.
This means Ztunnel will have multiple distinct certificates at a time, one for each unique identity (service account) running on its node.

When fetching certificates, ztunnel will authenticate to the CA with its own identity, but request the identity of another workload.

		Use:   "internal-debug [<type>/]<name>[.<namespace>]",
		Short: "Retrieves the debug information of istio",
		Long: `
Retrieves the debug information from Istiod or Pods in the mesh using the service account from the pod if --cert-dir is empty.
By default it will use the default serviceAccount from (istio-system) namespace if the pod is not specified.
