It has been nearly two years since the Big Bang 2.0 release, and the project has grown significantly in that time. The Big Bang engineering team is proud of the product that we have built alongside our growing community. Your support and feedback have been essential in shaping the platform your missions rely on.
In August 2024, the Istio project [announced](https://istio.io/latest/blog/2024/in-cluster-operator-deprecation-announcement/) the deprecation of the Istio Operator in Istio 1.24. The Istio Operator was created to address many of the problems with Helm 2. Helm 3 resolved many of those issues. Additionally, the Istio project's data showed that less than 10% of installations used the operator, with most relying on istioctl for initial deployment and upgrades.
