Istio Simplified

" summary

Claims a single istiod monolith replaces seven control-plane pods, cutting CRDs from 23→13 and flattening injector, node agent and mixer into pilot/Envoy pathways. Demo shows installing 1.6.5, labeling default namespace to enable sidecar injection, observing Envoy sidecars produce telemetry in Grafana, then installing 1.6.6 as a revision, switching namespace label to migrate proxies via rolling restarts and removing the old istiod; application stays available and proxies move to the new control plane.
