Deploying the application
Start the application services
Change directory to the root of the Istio installation.
The default Istio installation uses automatic sidecar injection. Label the namespace that will host the application with istio-injection=enabled:
kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled
namespace/default labeled
Deploy your application using the kubectl command:
kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/platform/kube/bookinfo.yaml
service/details created
serviceaccount/bookinfo-details created
deployment.apps/details-v1 created
service/ratings created
serviceaccount/bookinfo-ratings created
deployment.apps/ratings-v1 created
service/reviews created
serviceaccount/bookinfo-reviews created
deployment.apps/reviews-v1 created
deployment.apps/reviews-v2 created
deployment.apps/reviews-v3 created
service/productpage created
serviceaccount/bookinfo-productpage created
deployment.apps/productpage-v1 created
Confirm all services and pods are correctly defined and running:
kubectl get services
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
details ClusterIP 10.0.0.31 <none> 9080/TCP 6m
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 7d
productpage ClusterIP 10.0.0.120 <none> 9080/TCP 6m
ratings ClusterIP 10.0.0.15 <none> 9080/TCP 6m
reviews ClusterIP 10.0.0.170 <none> 9080/TCP 6m
and
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

productpage-v1-560495357-jk1lz 2/2 Running 0 6m
ratings-v1-734492171-rnr5l 2/2 Running 0 6m

reviews-v3-1813607990-8ch52 2/2 Running 0 6m
To confirm that the Bookinfo application is running, send a request to it by a curl command from some pod, for example from ratings:
kubectl exec "$(kubectl get pod -l app=ratings -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')" -c ratings -- curl -sS productpage:9080/productpage | grep -o "<title>.*</title>"
<title>Simple Bookstore App</title>
Determine the ingress IP and port
Create a gateway for the Bookinfo application: (Istio API)
kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/networking/bookinfo-gateway.yaml
gateway.networking.istio.io/bookinfo-gateway created
virtualservice.networking.istio.io/bookinfo created
Confirm the gateway has been created:
kubectl get gateway
NAME AGE
bookinfo-gateway 32s
- Set GATEWAY_URL:
export GATEWAY_URL=$INGRESS_HOST:$INGRESS_PORT
Confirm the app is accessible from outside the cluste
To confirm that the Bookinfo application is accessible from outside the cluster, run the following curl command:
Istio APIs
kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/networking/destination-rule-all.yaml
kubectl get destinationrules -o yaml
