Lab 1 - Installing Istio
We will be installing Istio using the Istio Operator. The Istio operator will manage the installation for you instead of you manually installing, upgrading, and uninstalling Istio on your cluster.
Download the
istioctl
CLI and add it to your PATH:curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | ISTIO_VERSION=1.5.6 sh -
export PATH=$PWD/istio-1.5.6/bin:$PATH
Deploy the Istio operator:
istioctl operator init
Install the Istio
demo
configuration profile using the operator:$ kubectl create ns istio-system $ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1 kind: IstioOperator metadata: namespace: istio-system name: example-istiocontrolplane spec: profile: demo EOF
The install will take just a couple minutes. Give the operator a few minutes to start installing the pods in the following command. Verify the installation is complete by checking for the pods in the
istio-system
namespace.$ kubectl get pods -n istio-system NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE grafana-5cc7f86765-xzrxj 1/1 Running 0 17m istio-egressgateway-866795b5d7-s8dlp 1/1 Running 0 17m istio-ingressgateway-f476fdd5-pwnrz 1/1 Running 0 17m istio-tracing-8584b4d7f9-54rxg 1/1 Running 0 16m istiod-6684498666-ptktr 1/1 Running 0 17m kiali-696bb665-bcbv8 1/1 Running 0 16m prometheus-b665549dc-h69cd 2/2 Running 0 16m
Before you continue, make sure all the pods are deployed and either in the
Running
state.Check the version of your Istio:
istioctl version
Sample output:
client version: 1.5.6 control plane version: 1.5.6 data plane version: 1.5.6 (4 proxies)
Congratulations! You successfully installed Istio into your cluster.
