    an Istio service mesh. The Telemetry resource enables flexible configuration of metrics, access logs, and distributed
    tracing for workloads. It uses the concept of providers to indicate the protocol or integration type, and supports fine-grained
    control over what telemetry data is collected and where it is sent.

    and default proxy configuration, as well as ProxyConfig for per-workload proxy tuning and network topology settings. These
    settings are typically applied via the Istio ConfigMap or as annotations on workloads.
