When installing or upgrading the Istio Helm chart through Apps & Marketplace,
- If you are installing the chart, click Customize Helm options before install and click Next.
- You will see options for configuring the Istio Helm chart. On the Components tab, check the box next to Enabled CNI.
Add a custom overlay file specifying
cniBinDir
andcniConfDir
. For more information on these options, refer to the Istio documentation. An example is below:apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1 kind: IstioOperator spec: components: cni: enabled: true k8s: overlays: - apiVersion: "apps/v1" kind: "DaemonSet" name: "istio-cni-node" patches: - path: spec.template.spec.containers.[name:install-cni].securityContext.privileged value: true values: cni: image: rancher/mirrored-istio-install-cni:1.9.3 excludeNamespaces: - istio-system - kube-system logLevel: info cniBinDir: /opt/cni/bin cniConfDir: /etc/cni/net.d
Result: Now you should be able to utilize Istio as desired, including sidecar injection and monitoring via Kiali.
