Sample applications in samples/
The istioctl client binary in the bin/ directory.

3. Add the istioctl client to your path (Linux or MacOS)

vim ~/.bash_profile

export ISTIO="/Library/istio-1.9.2"
export PATH=$PATH:${ISTIO}/bin

Install Istio

For this installation, we use the demo configuration profile. It’s selected to have a good set of defaults for testing, but there are other profiles for production or performance testing. If your platform has a vendor-specific configuration profile, e.g., Openshift, use it in the following command, instead of the demo profile. Refer to your platform instructions for details.

istioctl install --set profile=demo -y
# ✔ Istio core installed                                                          
# ✔ Istiod installed                                                              
# ✔ Egress gateways installed                                                     
# ✔ Ingress gateways installed                                                    
# ✔ Installation complete

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

kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled
# namespace/default labeled

Deploy the sample application

Deploy the Bookinfo sample application:

cd /Library/istio-1.9.2

kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/platform/kube/bookinfo.yaml

2. Check the applications‌

kubectl get services
kubectl get pods

3. Verify the application

kubectl exec "$(kubectl get pod -l app=ratings -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')" -c ratings -- curl -sS productpage:9080/productpage | grep -o "<title>.*</title>" 
# <title>Simple Bookstore App</title>

Open the application to outside traffic

kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/networking/bookinfo-gateway.yaml

istioctl analyze

Verify external access

If you are using Minikube with named dev –driver=hyperkit

minikube ip -p prod
