-    To configure the release for traffic from outside the cluster, a suitable Istio `Gateway` is required. For example, this [sample gateway](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kalantar/docs/release/samples/iter8-sample-gateway.yaml). When using the Iter8 `release` chart, set the `gateway` field to the name of your `Gateway`. Finally, to send traffic:
-
-    (a) In a separate terminal, port-forward the ingress gateway:
-    ```shell
-    kubectl -n istio-system port-forward svc/istio-ingressgateway 8080:80
-    ```
-    (b) Download the proto file and sample input:
-    ```shell
-    curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iter8-tools/docs/v0.17.3/samples/modelmesh-serving/kserve.proto
-    curl -sO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iter8-tools/docs/v0.17.3/samples/modelmesh-serving/grpc_input.json
