Istio Tutorials: How to install & configure istio?

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
