Istio hands-on

We can run these in katacoda where env is readily available

Steps:

1. Create config map with command:

kubectl create configmap sidecar-config --from-file=envoy-config=envoy.yaml

2. Create deployment and service with command:

kubectl create -f deployment.yaml kubectl create -f service.yaml

3. View istio-init logs

kubectl logs -c istio-init

4. View envoy logs

kubectl exec -it -c envoy sh

5. Check service with curl

kubectl get svc (get cluster ip)

curl - output printed curl :8083 - Blackhole cluster should be hit.
