+### Deployment in pipeline and release tests
+
+For the pipeline and bigbang release tests the following packages are mandatory: istio, argocd, kyverno
+
+See [test_values.yaml](../tests/test-values.yml), that shows what is required to deploy in a pipeline and/or in the release tests.
+
+The reason for the hard requirement of kyverno and argocd is because kyverno will set up a policy to clone the private-registry secret from argocd (podinfo is a requirement for the argocd test), and the policy will copy the private registry from argocd naspace to podinfo namespace.
