This section provides options for piecemeal installation of Istio
|
|
components.
|
|
|
|
## Ingress Controller Only
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use Istio as an Ingress controller, leveraging advanced
|
|
L7 routing capabilities such as version-aware routing, header based
|
|
routing, gRPC/HTTP2 proxying, tracing, etc. Deploy Istio Pilot only and
|
|
disable other components. Do not deploy the Istio initializer.
|
|
|
|
## Ingress Controller with Telemetry & Policies
|
|
|
|
By deploying Istio Pilot and Mixer, the Ingress controller configuration
|
|
described above can be enhanced to provide in-depth telemetry and policy
|
|
enforcement capabilities such as rate limits, access controls, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Intelligent Routing & Telemetry
|
|
|
|
If you wish to take advantage of Istio's L7 traffic management
|
|
capabilities, in addition to obtaining in-depth telemetry and performing
|
|
distributed request tracing, deploy Istio Pilot and Mixer. In addition,
|
|
disable policy enforcement at the Mixer.
