Istio 101 : Access logs and Envoy

To selectively enable access logs we could use the telemetry resource.
Below is an example of a telemetry resource for pods with the label - run: tele-pods - in the - istio-system - namespace:
Istio configuration for telemetry can span the whole mesh, be confined to a specific namespace or get only applied only to specific applications or workloads.
Remark:
Workload-specific telemetry configuration overrides the mesh and the namespace telemetry configuration.
The provider in our Yaml file is "envoy" but it could also be "prometheus" for example.
