consistent, is validated, and follows the [community graduation process](https://github.com/istio/community/blob/master/FEATURE-LIFECYCLE-CHECKLIST.md#feature-lifecycle-checklist).
## Advanced install customization
### Customizing external charts and profiles
The `istioctl` `install`, `manifest generate` and `profile` commands can use any of the following sources for charts and
profiles:
- compiled in charts. This is the default if no `--charts` option is set. The compiled in charts are the same as those
in the `manifests/` directory of the Istio release `.tgz`.
- charts in the local file system, e.g., `istioctl install --charts istio-1.6.0/manifests`
- charts in GitHub, e.g., `istioctl install --charts https://github.com/istio/istio/releases/download/1.6.0/istio-1.6.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz`
Local file system charts and profiles can be customized by editing the files in `manifests/`. For extensive changes,
we recommend making a copy of the `manifests` directory and make changes there. Note, however, that the content layout
in the `manifests` directory must be preserved.
Profiles, found under `manifests/profiles/`, can be edited and new ones added by creating new files with the
desired profile name and a `.yaml` extension. `istioctl` scans the `profiles` subdirectory and all profiles found there
can be referenced by name in the `IstioOperatorSpec` profile field. Built-in profiles are overlaid on the default profile YAML before user
overlays are applied. For example, you can create a new profile file called `custom1.yaml` which customizes some settings
from the `default` profile, and then apply a user overlay file on top of that:
{{< text bash >}}
$ istioctl generate --charts mycharts/ --set profile=custom1 -f path-to-user-overlay.yaml
{{< /text >}}
In this case, the `custom1.yaml` and `user-overlay.yaml` files will be overlaid on the `default.yaml` file to obtain the
final values used as the input for manifest generation.
In general, creating new profiles is not necessary since a similar result can be achieved by passing multiple overlay
files. For example, the command above is equivalent to passing two user overlay files:
{{< text bash >}}
$ istioctl generate --charts mycharts/ --f manifests/profiles/custom1.yaml -f path-to-user-overlay.yaml
{{< /text >}}
Creating a custom profile is only required if you need to refer to the profile by name through the `IstioOperatorSpec`.
### Patching the output manifest
The `IstioOperator` CR, input to `istioctl`, is used to generate the output manifest containing the
Kubernetes resources to be applied to the cluster. The output manifest can be further customized to add, modify or delete resources
through the `IstioOperator` [overlays](/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/#K8sObjectOverlay) API, after it is
generated but before it is applied to the cluster.
The following example overlay file (`patch.yaml`) demonstrates the type of output manifest patching that can be done:
{{< text yaml >}}
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
profile: empty
hub: docker.io/istio
tag: 1.1.6
components:
pilot:
enabled: true
namespace: istio-control

overlays:
- kind: Deployment
name: istiod
patches:
# Select list item by value
- path: spec.template.spec.containers.[name:discovery].args.[30m]
value: "60m" # overridden from 30m
# Select list item by key:value
- path: spec.template.spec.containers.[name:discovery].ports.[containerPort:8080].containerPort
value: 1234
# Override with object (note | on value: first line)

- kind: Service

patches:

value: 11111 # OVERRIDDEN
{{< /text >}}
Passing the file to `istioctl manifest generate -f patch.yaml` applies the above patches to the default profile output
manifest. The two patched resources will be modified as shown below (some parts of the resources are omitted for
brevity):
{{< text yaml >}}
apiVersion: apps/v1

name: istiod

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: istiod
spec:
ports:
- name: https-dns
port: 11111

{{< /text >}}
Note that the patches are applied in the given order. Each patch is applied over the output from the
previous patch. Paths in patches that don't exist in the output manifest will be created.
### List item path selection
Both the `istioctl --set` flag and the `k8s.overlays` field in `IstioOperator` CR support list item selection by `[index]`, `[value]` or by `[key:value]`.
The --set flag also creates any intermediate nodes in the path that are missing in the resource.
