Lightning Talk: Sail-Operator: Making Seamless Istio Upgrad...
summary
Sail-operator manages Istio control plane upgrades declaratively, using the Istio Helm API to instantiate IstioRevision objects and perform Canary-style swaps that deploy a second control plane, rewire a revision tag, restart workloads, then delete the old control plane after a configurable timeout (demo shows auto removal at 30s). It supports InPlace and RevisionBased strategies, maps Helm chart values (including dual-stack cluster flags) directly, and wires injection labels so upgrades from 1.23.2 to latest happen without manual namespace relabeling.
