o separate an application into different microservices is if they have different security roles. Multiple Istio microservices like the sidecar injector, the Envoy bootstrap, Citadel, and Pilot hold nearly equivalent permissions to change the proxy configuration. Therefore, exploiting any of these services would cause near equivalent damage. When you deploy Istio, all the components are installed by default into the same Kubernetes namespace, offering limited security isolation.</p></li></ul><h2 id=the-benef
