Platform Setup

Install Istio with Helm in Kubernetes
Configure the Helm repository:
$ helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
$ helm repo update
Create a namespace istio-system
for Istio components:
$ kubectl create namespace istio-system
$ helm install istio-base istio/base -n istio-system
Install the Istio discovery chart which deploys the istiod
service:
helm install istiod istio/istiod -n istio-system --wait
(Optional) Install an ingress gateway:
$ kubectl create namespace istio-ingress
$ kubectl label namespace istio-ingress istio-injection=enabled
$ helm install istio-ingress istio/gateway -n istio-ingress --wait
Status of the installation can be verified using Helm:
$ helm status istiod -n istio-system
