* **Pilot** - A component responsible for configuring the
Envoy and Mixer at runtime.

* **Galley** - A component responsible for storing and distributing Istio configuration state.

* **Broker** - A component implementng the open service broker API for Istio-based services.

Istio currently only supports the Kubernetes
platform, although we plan support for additional platforms such as
Cloud Foundry, and Mesos in the near future.

## Issue management

We use GitHub combined with ZenHub to track all of our bugs and feature requests. Each issue we track has a variety of metadata:

- **Epic**. An epic represents a feature area for Istio as a whole. Epics are fairly broad in scope and are basically product-level things.
Each issue is ultimately part of an epic.

- **Milestone**. Each issue is assigned a milestone. This is 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, or 'Nebulous Future'. The milestone indicates when we
think the issue should get addressed.

- **Priority/Pipeline**. Each issue has a priority which is represented by the Pipeline field within GitHub. Priority can be one of
P0, P1, P2, or >P2. The priority indicates how important it is to address the issue within the milestone. P0 says that the
milestone cannot be considered achieved if the issue isn't resolved.

We don't annotate issues with Releases; Milestones are used instead. We don't use GitHub projects at all, that
support is disabled for our organization.
