Istio Service Mesh

Question

Current Setup: With Free Trial Azure Cloud Account.

I am following below docs to setup Istio on my AKS CLuster

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/istio-deploy-addon

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/istio-deploy-ingress

When I reached at this step:

az aks mesh enable-ingress-gateway --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --name $CLUSTER --ingress-gateway-type externa

This commands gets executed successdully

But After this:

I am supposed to run "kubectl get svc aks-istio-ingressgateway-external -n aks-istio-ingress" but it is resulting in nothng.

Hello sc,

Thanks for your question.

If the output of the get command does not return any value it means that there is no "aks-istio-ingressgateway-external" resource in the "aks-istio-ingress namespace".

This either means that the resource did not deploy at all or does not exist in the namespace. You could also confirm if the namespace itself exists

To test further run

kubectl get ns  #check namespace existence
kubectl get all -n aks-istio-ingress #get all resources in the namespace

If the namespace exists and the resource is not present, I will recommend you simply redeploy. That will solve.

az aks mesh enable-ingress-gateway --resource-group $RESOURCE_GROUP --name $CLUSTER --ingress-gateway-type external

Remember to replace $RESOURCE_GROUP and $CLUSTER with the correct values

You can mark it 'Accept Answer' and 'Upvote' if this helped you
