### Specifying Python version

The hermetic Python version is controlled by `HERMETIC_PYTHON_VERSION`
environment variable, which could be setin one of the following ways:

```
# Either add an entry to your `.bazelrc` file
build --repo_env=HERMETIC_PYTHON_VERSION=3.12

# OR pass it directly to your specific build command

        static {
            ALIASES.put("cr", "rc");
        }

        private static final String RELEASE_VERSION_INDEX = String.valueOf(QUALIFIERS.indexOf(""));

However, this has one glaring issue: how do we get the traffic to the remote proxies, while maintaining the zero-trust properties that Istio is built upon?

A secondary goal was to enable a smoother on-ramp from "Zero" to "Getting some value".
