Istio {{< istio_version >}} has been tested with these Kubernetes releases: {{< supported_kubernetes_versions >}}.

{{< /tip >}}
|

|

Visit our [getting started guide](/docs/setup/kubernetes/getting-started/) to
|
||||
learn how to evaluate and try Istio's basic features quickly.
|
||||
|
||||
Istio offers [multiple installation flows](/docs/setup/kubernetes/getting-started/)
|
||||
depending on your platform and whether or not you intend to use Istio in production.
|
||||
At a high level, the basic flow is the same regardless of platform:

If you’re new to Istio and just want to try it out, the quickest way to get started is
|
||||
by downloading and installing Istio's built-in **demo** configuration.
|
||||
Istio can also be installed and customized in many other ways, depending on your platform and intended use.
|
||||
Check out our [general installation instructions](/docs/setup/) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, proceed as follows:
|
||||
This guide lets you try out Istio quickly and it's the ideal starting
|
||||
point if you are new to the project. To get started, download and install
|
||||
Istio's built-in **demo** configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Setup your platform](/docs/setup/kubernetes/platform-setup/)
|
||||
1. [Download the Istio release](/docs/setup/kubernetes/#downloading-the-release)
|
||||
1. [Follow the quick-start installation instructions](/docs/setup/kubernetes/install/kubernetes)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've installed Istio, a good way to start evaluating Istio's features is using our
|
||||
[Bookinfo sample application](/docs/examples/bookinfo/).
|
||||
You can use this sample to experiment with Istio’s features for traffic routing,
|
||||
fault injection, rate limiting, etc..
|
||||
With Istio installed, you can [deploy the Bookinfo sample](/docs/examples/bookinfo/#if-you-are-running-on-kubernetes)
|
||||
and evaluate Istio's features for traffic routing, fault injection, rate
|
||||
limiting, etc. Explore the various [Istio tasks](/docs/tasks/), and try out the
|
||||
tasks that interest you. If you are not sure where to begin, the following
|
||||
tasks are a good place to start:
|
||||
|
||||
1. [Deploy the Bookinfo sample](/docs/examples/bookinfo/#if-you-are-running-on-kubernetes)
|
||||
1. Explore various [Istio tasks](/docs/tasks/), depending on your interest.
|
||||
The following tasks are a good start for beginners:
|
||||
* [Request routing](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/request-routing/)
|
||||
* [Fault injection](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/fault-injection/)
|
||||
* [Traffic shifting](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/traffic-shifting/)
|
||||
* [Querying metrics](/docs/tasks/telemetry/metrics/querying-metrics/)
|
||||
* [Visualizing metrics](/docs/tasks/telemetry/metrics/using-istio-dashboard/)
|
||||
* [Collecting logs](/docs/tasks/telemetry/logs/collecting-logs/)
|
||||
* [Rate limiting](/docs/tasks/policy-enforcement/rate-limiting/)
|
||||
* [Ingress gateways](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/ingress/ingress-control/)
|
||||
* [Accessing external services](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/egress/egress-control/)
|
||||
* [Visualizing your mesh](/docs/tasks/telemetry/kiali/)
|
||||
- [Request routing](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/request-routing/)
|
||||
- [Fault injection](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/fault-injection/)
|
||||
- [Traffic shifting](/docs/tasks/traffic-management/traffic-shifting/)
|
||||
- [Querying metrics](/docs/tasks/telemetry/metrics/querying-metrics/)
|
||||
- [Visualizing metrics](/docs/tasks/telemetry/metrics/using-istio-dashboard/)
|

|
||||
- [Visualizing your mesh](/docs/tasks/telemetry/kiali/)
|
||||
|
||||
After that, you will have a pretty good understanding of Istio's basic functionality and can then
|
||||
proceed to explore Istio's many other tasks or, even better, start to deploy your own applications.
|
||||
If you do continue to use Istio, we look forward to hearing from you.
|
||||
The tasks above provide a good basic understanding of Istio's features but,
|
||||
explore more [tasks](/docs/tasks/) depending on what interests you. Before you
|
||||
install and customize Istio to fit your platform and intended use, check out
|
||||
our [general installation instructions](/docs/setup/) for details.
|
||||
|
||||
The next step is to deploy your own applications.
|
||||
|
||||
As you continue to use Istio, we look forward to hearing from you and welcoming
|
||||
you to our [community](/about/community/join/).
