Now that we have a Kubernetes cluster and Meshery, we are ready to download and deploy Istio resources.
Optional (manual install of Istio):
Using Meshery, select Istio
from the Lifecycle
menu.
In the Istio management page:
Type istio-system
into the namespace field.
Click the (+) icon on the Install
card and click on Istio Service Mesh
to install latest version of Istio.
Click the Deploy
button on the confirmation modal.
{" "}
You will download and deploy the latest Istio resources on your Kubernetes cluster.
Note to Docker Desktop users: Please ensure your Docker VM has atleast 4GiB of Memory, which is required for all services to run.
On your local machine, execute:
1curl -L https://git.io/getLatestIstio | ISTIO_VERSION=1.7.3 sh -
On a *nix system, you can setup istioctl
by doing the following:
1brew install istioctl
Alternatively, change into the Istio package directory and add the istioctl
client to your PATH environment variable.
1cd istio-*2export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
Verify istioctl
is available:
1istioctl version
Check if the cluster is ready for installation:
1istioctl verify-install
To install Istio with a demo
profile, execute the below command.
1istioctl install --set profile=demo
Alternatively, with Envoy logging enabled:
1istioctl install --set profile=demo --set meshConfig.accessLogFile=/dev/stdout
In the Istio management page:
Validate Service Mesh Configuration
card.Verify Installation
to verify the installation of Istio.Istio is deployed in a separate Kubernetes namespace istio-system
. To check if Istio is deployed, and also, to see all the pieces that are deployed, execute the following:
1kubectl get all -n istio-system
