# To Run

## Notes

In order to take advantage of all of Istio’s features, pods in the mesh must be 
running an Istio sidecar proxy. You can automatically inject a sidecar proxy
by applying the istio-sidecar-injector ConfigMap. When enabled in a pod’s 
namespace, automatic injection injects the proxy configuration at pod creation 
time using an admission controller.You must be sure to change
any references to the default sidecar_injector image to utilize the Iron Bank
version in order to ensure the hardened image is used after download.
