I am now installing Istio on AKS, referring to the following site.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/servicemesh-istio-install?pivots=client-operating-system-linux
I don't think it's a problem until the chapter on Install the Istio Operator on AKS.
The chapter Install Istio components does not work.
Blockquote
I get Kiali-related errors in istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml.
I believe there is a problem with istio.aks.yaml.
@alan , Thank you for sharing your concern here.
As it so happens, we were not able to reproduce this issue based on the document you are following. Can you please share the AKS version you are using and the error message you have received?
Thank you for your reply.
the AKS version you are using
How do I find out the version of AKS?
I searched for "version" in the JSON view and found the following.
But none of them seem to be the AKS version.
|"kubernetesVersion": "1.19.11"
|"orchestratorVersion": "1.19.11"
|"nodeImageVersion": "AKSUbuntu-1804gen2containerd-2021.07.03"
the error message you have received
I re-did the chapter on installing the Istio components.
|C:****\istio-1.10.3\bin>kubectl apply -f istio.aks.yaml
|istiooperator.install.istio.io/istio-control-plane configured
I also redid the istioctl.
|C:****\istio-1.10.3\bin>istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml
|Error: validation errors (use --force to override):
|unknown field "kiali" in v1alpha1.Values
@alan , Thank you for your response. This is a kubectl validation error. It seems like there might have been indentation errors (possibly around spec.values ) with the istio.aks.yaml script that you are running. Can you please check? I would recommend copying the whole script from the document and using it as istio.aks.yaml to confirm if it works.
Please do let us know if this helps.
Thank you.
I compared the two.
The only difference was whether the last line had a line break or not.
The results are shown below. The result was the same.
|C:****\istio-1.10.3\bin>kubectl apply -f istio.aks.yaml
|istiooperator.install.istio.io/istio-control-plane configured
|C:****\istio-1.10.3\bin>istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml
|Error: validation errors (use --force to override):
|unknown field "kiali" in v1alpha1.Values
@alan , The orchestratorVersion is the version of the AKS control plane, commonly referred to as the AKS version.
@alan , Sorry I missed it the last time.
According to the steps outlined in this article, you won't have to run istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml .
To install the Istio Operator on AKS please run istioctl operator init. To validate that it has been installed run kubectl get all -n istio-operator
You should see the components similar to the following deployed.
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/istio-operator-6d7958b7bf-wxgdc 1/1 Running 0 2m43s
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/istio-operator ClusterIP 10.0.8.57 <none> 8383/TCP 2m43s
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
deployment.apps/istio-operator 1/1 1 1 2m43s
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
replicaset.apps/istio-operator-6d7958b7bf 1 1 1 2m43s
To install istio components run:
kubectl create ns istio-system
kubectl apply -f istio.aks.yaml
The contents of istio.aks.yaml should be as described here. To validate run kubectl get all -n istio-system
You do not have to run istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml in this set-up.
Also the steps outlined in the aforementioned article assumes installed Istio version is 1.7.3.

I tried istioctl install -f istio.aks.yaml to get a hint on how to solve the problem,
I understand that it is unnecessary in itself.
I tried deleting the AKS deployment and then redeploying AKS again,
and then redoing the steps in the documentation.
However, the result did not change.
|C:****\istio-1.10.3\bin>istioctl operator init

... I thought there was nothing wrong with kubectl create ns istio-system giving me an error,
but maybe this is wrong?
II've tried everything, but it still doesn't work.
was wondering if it might be a quota issue,
which subscription would I need to use Istio with Azure AKS?
