This folder provides a variety of "profiles" for helm installation.
While a user can just explicitly pass this with --values/-f.
However, Istio also provides a feature to bundle these with the charts, which is convenient when installing from remote charts.
For details, see copy-templates Makefile target, and manifests/zzz_profile.yaml.
Any changes to this folder should have a make copy-templates applied afterwards.
Warning: unlike the IstioOperator profiles, these profiles cannot enable or disable certain components.
As a result, users still need to ensure they install the appropriate charts to use a profile correctly.
These requirements are documented in each profile.
