This repository defines component-level APIs and common configuration formats for the Istio platform. These definitions are specified using the protobuf syntax.
All other Istio repositories can take a dependency on the api repository. This repository will not depend on any other repos
All components of an Istio installation operate on a shared vocabulary of attributes, as defined in this repo.
When designing proto-based APIs in the Istio project, please follow the Istio API Style Guide.
After the protobuf definitions are updated, the corresponding *pb.go files must be generated by running scripts/generate-protos.sh and submitted as part of the same PR as the updated definitions.
