 ## Upgrades
 
 - We recommend a manual upgrade of the control plane and data plane to 1.1. See

+## Installation
+
+- **CRD Install Separated from Istio Install**.  Istio’s CRDs have been placed into their own Helm chart `istio-init`.
+  By placing CRDs in their own Helm chart, data continuity of custom resource content is preserved during the upgrade
+  process and further enables Istio to evolve beyond a Helm-based installation.
+
+- **Installation Configuration Profiles**. Several installation configuration profiles have been added to
+  simplify the installation process using well-known and well-tested patterns. Learn more about the better
+  user experience afforded by the [installation profile feature](/docs/setup/kubernetes/additional-setup/config-profiles/).
+
+- **Improved Multicluster Integration**. The 1.0 `istio-remote` chart previously used for
+  [multicluster VPN](/docs/setup/kubernetes/install/multicluster/vpn/) and
+  [multicluster split horizon](/docs/examples/multicluster/split-horizon-eds/) remote cluster installation
+  has been consolidated into the Istio Helm chart simplifying the operational experience.
