Installation
...
Download installation scripts with git clonefrom ONAP Gerrit:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
git clone https://github.com/zhaohuabing/istio-install-scripts.gitgerrit.onap.org/r/msb/service-mesh |
Kubernetes Master
We need Kubernetes1.9 or newer to enable automatic sidecar injection, so we don't have to modify every individual ONAP kubernetes yaml deployment files to add the sidecar container, which would be inconvenient.
...
Webhook and other needed features have already been configured in the install scripts to enable Istio sidecar injection.
Create the Kubernetes master by running this script:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd istioservice-install-scripts sudomesh/install/ ./1_install_k8s_master.sh |
This script will create a Kubernetes master node with Kubeadm and install calico network plugin. Some other needed tools such as Docker, Kubectl and Helm will also be installedHelm will be installed as well.
From the output of the script, you should see a command on how to join a node to the created Kubernets cluster. Note that this is an example, the token and cert-hash of your installation will be different, please copy & paste the command to somewhere, we will need it later.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node as root: kubeadm join 10.12.5.104:6443 --token 1x62yf.60ys5p2iw13tx2t8 --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:f06628c7cee002b262e69f3f9efadf47bdec125e19606ebff743a3e514a8383b |
Kubernetes worker Node
Log in the worker node machine, run this script to create a kubernetes worker node:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
cd istio-install-scripts
sudo ./2_install_k8s_minion.sh |
...
or you can manually copy the content of this file to ~/.kube/conf if scp can't be used due to security reason.
Istio Control Plane
Install Istio by running this script:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
./ 3_install_istio.sh |
This script installs the followings Istio components:
- Install Istioctl command line tool in the /usr/bin directory
- Install Istio control plane components, including Pilot, Citadel, Mixer
- Install addons including servicegraph, Promeheus, Grafana, jaeger
Confirm Istio was installed:

Sidecar Injection
In the transition phase, the Istio sidecar injector policy is configured as "disabled" when installing Istio. So the sidecar injector will not inject the sidecar into pods by default. Add the `sidecar.istio.io/inject annotation` with value `true` to the pod template spec to enable injection.
Example:
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: {{ include "common.fullname" . }}
namespace: {{ include "common.namespace" . }}
labels:
app: {{ include "common.name" . }}
chart: {{ .Chart.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Version | replace "+" "_" }}
release: {{ .Release.Name }}
heritage: {{ .Release.Service }}
spec:
replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount }}
selector:
matchLabels:
app: multicloud-vio
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: {{ include "common.name" . }}
release: {{ .Release.Name }}
name: {{ include "common.name" . }}
annotations:
sidecar.istio.io/inject: "{{.Values.istioSidecar}}" |
Note: when all ONAP projects are ready for Istio integration, the Istio sidecar injector policy could be configured as "enabled", then the annotation in the pod will not be necessary any more.
Enable Istio sidecar injection webhook.
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|

kubectl create namespace onap
kubectl label namespace onap istio-injection=enabled |

helm install local/msb -n msb --namespace onap
helm install local/vfc -n vfc --namespace onap
helm install local/multicloud -n multicloud --namespace onap |
Note that you can also install other ONAP projects with helm install if they are needed. But Istio sidecar will not be injected to their Pods by default.

You can open the MSB portal http://Node_IP:30280/iui/microservices/default.html in the browser to see all the registered services.
Explore Istio Features
Distributed Tracing
First, let's generate some traffics in the application, access the following URLs with curl command or open them in the browser
http://node_ip:30280/api/multicloud/v0/swagger.json
http://node_ip:30280/api/multicloud-vio/v0/swagger.json
http://node_ip:30280/api/multicloud-ocata/v0/swagger.json
Then open your browser at http://tracing_node_ip:tracing_node_port/, you should see something similar to the following:
Note
- Tracing_node_port can be found by 'kubctl get svc -n istio-system'.
- ONAP microservices need to propagate the appropriate HTTP headers so that when the proxies send span information, the spans can be correlated correctly into a single trace.
Service Graph
Istio provides a Servicegraph service which generates and visualizes graph representations of the services in the mesh.
Open your browser at http://node_ip:30088/dotviz or http://node_ip:30088/force/forcegraph.html, you should see the service graph:
Metrics Visualization
Istio automatically gathers telemetry for services in a mesh. A Prometheus adapter is plugged into Mixer to serve the generated metric data. A Grafana addon is pre-configured with a Prometheus data source and has an Istio dashboard installed for the metric visualization.
Open your browser at http://node_ip:30300, you should see the Grafana Istio dashboard:
