Chapter 4. Deploying Istio
To gain familiarity with the complete set of Istio’s capabilities, we need to get Istio up and running. Let’s begin by understanding its supported platforms and preparing our environment for deployment. Istio is a large project, providing a number of capabilities and quite a few deployment options. In this chapter, we perform a basic installation on your local machine and deploy a few services onto the mesh. Later chapters dive deeper into various aspects of Istio functionality.
Preparing Your Environment for Istio
In addition to Istio, we’ll deploy its sample application, Bookinfo. Our Istio and Bookinfo deployments will lay down a number of containers. We will use Kubernetes as the platform to manage these containers. Kubernetes is a robust container orchestration system capable of forming clusters (a collection of nodes) and scheduling containers across nodes within the fleet of host machines (nodes) that form the cluster. Nodes are Linux or Windows servers capable of running containers that have a Kubernetes agent, kubelet, installed. As one of a number of to-be-supported underlying platforms, Kubernetes is the first and best-supported platform. So, we use Kubernetes throughout our examples. To be clear, Istio is not dependent on Kubernetes. Designed to be platform agnostic, Istio supports multiple deployment platforms, including those without a container orchestrator.
