Lightning Talk: Kiali and Istio Ambient
summary
Kiali adds alpha support for Istio Ambient: it detects an ambient label on control planes and namespaces and marks them in the GUI, shows a ztunnel (ctanel) label next to workloads whose traffic is redirected, and marks workloads with Waypoint proxies in the mini‑graph (hidden by default, toggleable). Edge rendering shifts from protocol colors to the reporting component so duplicate‑looking edges appear, the old missing‑sidecar warning becomes an out of mesh message, multicluster support is alpha, and telemetry currently shows only HTTP/TCP/gRPC.
