compiled to [Go

This document provides an overview of the architecture and design decisions around Ztunnel, the node-proxy component in ambient mode.

## Background and motivation

Motivations to implement ztunnel generally came from two areas.

First, and most importantly, it serves as a means to implement the real goal: waypoints.

#### Extensibility

- The community has been asking for continuing support of extensibility, so this cycle features more work around CRDs and API Machinery. Most of the enhancements in this cycle were from SIG API Machinery and related areas.

### Extensibility around core Kubernetes APIs

#### CustomResourceDefinitions Pruning

### SIG Node

SIG-Node advanced several features and made incremental improvements in a few key topic areas this release.
