This guide lets you quickly evaluate Istio's {{< gloss "ambient" >}}ambient mode{{< /gloss >}}. You'll need a Kubernetes cluster to proceed. If you don't have a cluster, you can use kind or any other supported Kubernetes platform.
These steps require you to have a {{< gloss >}}cluster{{< /gloss >}} running a supported version of Kubernetes ({{< supported_kubernetes_versions >}}).
Download the Istio CLI
Istio is configured using a command line tool called istioctl. Download it, and the Istio sample applications:
{{< text syntax=bash snip_id=none >}} $ curl -L https://istio.io/downloadIstio | sh - $ cd istio-{{< istio_full_version >}} $ export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH {{< /text >}}
Check that you are able to run istioctl by printing the version of the command. At this point, Istio is not installed in your cluster, so you will see that there are no pods ready.
{{< text syntax=bash snip_id=none >}} $ istioctl version Istio is not present in the cluster: no running Istio pods in namespace "istio-system" client version: {{< istio_full_version >}} {{< /text >}}
Install Istio on to your cluster
istioctl supports a number of configuration profiles that include different default options, and can be customized for your production needs. Support for ambient mode is included in the ambient profile. Install Istio with the following command:
{{< text syntax=bash snip_id=install_ambient >}} $ istioctl install --set profile=ambient --skip-confirmation {{< /text >}}
Once the installation completes, you’ll get the following output that indicates all components have been installed successfully.
{{< text syntax=plain snip_id=none >}} ✔ Istio core installed ✔ Istiod installed ✔ CNI installed ✔ Ztunnel installed ✔ Installation complete {{< /text >}}
Install the Kubernetes Gateway API CRDs
You will use the Kubernetes Gateway API to configure traffic routing.

Next steps
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Istio with support for ambient mode. Continue to the next step to install a sample application.
