# Istiod Helm Chart
This chart installs an Istiod deployment.
## Setup Repo Info
```console
helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update
```
_See [helm repo](https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo/) for command documentation._
## Installing the Chart
Before installing, ensure CRDs are installed in the cluster (from the `istio/base` chart).
To install the chart with the release name `istiod`:
```console
kubectl create namespace istio-system
helm install istiod istio/istiod --namespace istio-system
```
## Uninstalling the Chart
To uninstall/delete the `istiod` deployment:
```console
helm delete istiod --namespace istio-system
```
## Configuration
To view support configuration options and documentation, run:
```console
helm show values istio/istiod
```
### Profiles
Istio Helm charts have a concept of a `profile`, which is a bundled collection of value presets.
These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.
For example, the `demo` profile offers a preset configuration to try out Istio in a test environment, with additional features enabled and lowered resource requirements.
For consistency, the same profiles are used across each chart, even if they do not impact a given chart.
Explicitly set values have highest priority, then profile settings, then chart defaults.
As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.
That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.
### Examples
#### Configuring mesh configuration settings
Any [Mesh Config](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/istio.mesh.v1alpha1/) options can be configured like below:
```yaml
meshConfig:
accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
```
#### Revisions
Control plane revisions allow deploying multiple versions of the control plane in the same cluster.
This allows safe [canary upgrades](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/upgrade/canary/)
```yaml
revision: my-revision-name
```
