Thanks for the feedback! We are currently investigating and will update you shortly.

Appears to be the same point in the doc we are seeing in this issue #42128

Closing this and we can work off the other one.

This seems to be an issue in Helm 2.16.0. If I install a 1.14.7 AKS Cluster and use Helm 2.15.2 to install Istio 1.3.3, the issue does not appear. It does appear when deploying Istio with Helm 2.16.0.

I will add a PR that updates the required version of Helm for Istio 1.3.3.

Hi @paulbouwer I have repro this issue on customer using 1.3.3 and we got the same problem
a@abc:~/istio-1.3.3$ helm install istio.io/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system --version 1.3.3 \

--set global.controlPlaneSecurityEnabled=true
--set global.mtls.enabled=true
--set grafana.enabled=true --set grafana.security.enabled=true
--set tracing.enabled=true
--set kiali.enabled=true
--set global.defaultNodeSelector."beta.kubernetes.io/os"=linux
Error: no kind "Job" is registered for version "batch/v1" in scheme "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/api/legacyscheme/scheme.go:30"
I will repro this installation on another AKS cluster.

But it seems that ISTIO Helm chart is trying to deploy some "Job" that uses "apiversion:batch/v1" that doesn't exists anymore on "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/api/legacyscheme/scheme.go:30"

@raduart - there is a bug in Helm 2.16.0. Please ensure you use Helm 2.15.2.

See the following Issue #6894 - No kind Job is registered for version batch/v1

This is fixed in PR #6897 - fix(kube): Fixes missing API versions and will be available in Helm 2.16.1.

@paulbouwer Thank you for your feedback. I will try to repro this tomorrow on my customer using helm 2.15.2 version
