Istio Setup Manual

Step 1: Download Istio

Step1: Go to the Istio release page to download the installation file for your OS, or download and extract the latest release automatically (Linux or macOS):

Step 2: Unzip the IstioCtl and then Place the isitoctl.exe file in your "c" drive Kubetools folder.

Step 3: On the Desktop, Create a folder to work on the lab files.

Install Istio

Step 1: For this installation, we use the minimalconfiguration profile. It’s selected to have a good set of defaults for testing, but there are other profiles for production or performance testing.

istioctl install --set profile=demo -y

Step 2: Add a namespace label to instruct Istio to automatically inject Envoy sidecar proxies when you deploy your application later:

kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled

istioctl analyze
