in-depth evaluation or production use.
If you are new to Istio, and just want to try it out, follow the
<a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/getting-started>quick start instructions</a> instead.</p><p>This installation guide uses the <a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/commands/istioctl/><code>istioctl</code></a> command line
tool to provide rich customization of the Istio control plane and of the sidecars for the Istio data plane.
It has user input validation to help prevent installation errors and customization options to
override any aspect of the configuration.</p><p>Using these instructions, you can select any one of Istio&rsquo;s built-in
<a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/additional-setup/config-profiles/>configuration profiles</a>
and then further customize the configuration for your specific needs.</p><p>Full customization of the installation can be done through the
<a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/><code>IstioOperator</code> API</a>.</p><h2 id=prerequisites>Prerequisites</h2><p>Before you begin, check the following prerequisites:</p><ol><li><a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/getting-started/#download>Download the Istio release</a>.</li><li>Perform any necessary <a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/platform-setup/>platform-specific setup</a>.</li><li>Check the <a href=/v1.6/docs/ops/deployment/requirements/>Requirements for Pods and Services</a>.</li></ol><h2 id=install-istio-using-the-default-profile>Install Istio using the default profile</h2><p>The simplest option is to install the <code>default</code> Istio
<a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/additional-setup/config-profiles/>configuration profile</a>
using the following command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install
</code></pre><div><aside class="callout tip"><div class=type><svg class="large-icon"><use xlink:href="/v1.6/img/icons.svg#callout-tip"/></svg></div><div class=content>Note that <code>istioctl install</code> and <code>istioctl manifest apply</code> are exactly the same command. In Istio 1.6, the simpler <code>install</code>
command replaces <code>manifest apply</code>, which is deprecated and will be removed in 1.7.</div></aside></div><p>This command installs the <code>default</code> profile on the cluster defined by your
Kubernetes configuration. The <code>default</code> profile is a good starting point
for establishing a production environment, unlike the larger <code>demo</code> profile that
is intended for evaluating a broad set of Istio features.</p><p>To enable the Grafana dashboard on top of the <code>default</code> profile, set the <code>addonComponents.grafana.enabled</code> configuration parameter with the following command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --set addonComponents.grafana.enabled=true
</code></pre><p>In general, you can use the <code>--set</code> flag in <code>istioctl</code> as you would with
Helm. The only difference is you must
prefix the setting paths with <code>values.</code> because this is the path to the Helm pass-through API in the
<a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/><code>IstioOperator</code> API</a>.</p><h2 id=install-from-external-charts>Install from external charts</h2><p>By default, <code>istioctl</code> uses compiled-in charts to generate the install manifest. These charts are released together with
<code>istioctl</code> for auditing and customization purposes and can be found in the release tar in the
<code>manifests</code> directory.
<code>istioctl</code> can also use external charts rather than the compiled-in ones. To select external charts, set
the <code>charts</code> flag to a local file system path:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --charts=manifests/
</code></pre><p>If using the <code>istioctl</code> 1.6.8 binary, this command will result in the same installation as <code>istioctl install</code> alone, because it points to the
same charts as the compiled-in ones.
Other than for experimenting with or testing new features, we recommend using the compiled-in charts rather than external ones to ensure compatibility of the
<code>istioctl</code> binary with the charts.</p><h2 id=install-a-different-profile>Install a different profile</h2><p>Other Istio configuration profiles can be installed in a cluster by passing the
profile name on the command line. For example, the following command can be used
to install the <code>demo</code> profile:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --set profile=demo
</code></pre><h2 id=check-what-s-installed>Check what&rsquo;s installed</h2><p>The <code>istioctl</code> command saves the <code>IstioOperator</code> CR that was used to install Istio in a copy of the CR named <code>installed-state</code>.
You can inspect this CR if you lose track of what is installed in a cluster.</p><p>The <code>installed-state</code> CR is also used to perform checks in some <code>istioctl</code> commands and should therefore not be removed.</p><h2 id=display-the-list-of-available-profiles>Display the list of available profiles</h2><p>You can display the names of Istio configuration profiles that are
accessible to <code>istioctl</code> by using this command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl profile list
Istio configuration profiles:
minimal
preview
remote
default
demo
empty
</code></pre><h2 id=display-the-configuration-of-a-profile>Display the configuration of a profile</h2><p>You can view the configuration settings of a profile. For example, to view the setting for the <code>demo</code> profile
run the following command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl profile dump demo

</code></pre><p>To view a subset of the entire configuration, you can use the <code>--config-path</code> flag, which selects only the portion
of the configuration under the given path:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl profile dump --config-path components.pilot demo

which is useful for checking the effects of customizations before applying changes to a cluster.</p><p>You can show differences between the default and demo profiles using these commands:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl profile diff default demo

</code></pre><h2 id=generate-a-manifest-before-installation>Generate a manifest before installation</h2><p>You can generate the manifest before installing Istio using the <code>manifest generate</code>
sub-command.
For example, use the following command to generate a manifest for the <code>default</code> profile:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl manifest generate &gt; $HOME/generated-manifest.yaml
</code></pre><p>The generated manifest can be used to inspect what exactly is installed as well as to track changes to the manifest
over time. While the <code>IstioOperator</code> CR represents the full user configuration and is sufficient for tracking it,
the output from <code>manifest generate</code> also captures possible changes in the underlying charts and therefore can be
used to track the actual installed resources.</p><p>The output from <code>manifest generate</code> can also be used to install Istio using <code>kubectl apply</code> or equivalent. However,
these alternative installation methods may not apply the resources with the same sequencing of dependencies as
<code>istioctl install</code> and are not tested in an Istio release.</p><div><aside class="callout warning"><div class=type><svg class="large-icon"><use xlink:href="/v1.6/img/icons.svg#callout-warning"/></svg></div><div class=content><p>If attempting to install and manage Istio using <code>istioctl manifest generate</code>, please note the following caveats:</p><ol><li><p>The Istio namespace (<code>istio-system</code> by default) must be created manually.</p></li><li><p>While <code>istioctl install</code> will automatically detect environment specific settings from your Kubernetes context,
<code>manifest generate</code> cannot as it runs offline, which may lead to unexpected results. In particular, you must ensure
that you follow <a href=/v1.6/docs/ops/best-practices/security/#configure-third-party-service-account-tokens>these steps</a> if your
Kubernetes environment does not support third party service account tokens.</p></li><li><p><code>kubectl apply</code> of the generated manifest may show transient errors due to resources not being available in the
cluster in the correct order.</p></li><li><p><code>istioctl install</code> automatically prunes any resources that should be removed when the configuration changes (e.g.
if you remove a gateway). This does not happen when you use <code>istio manifest generate</code> with <code>kubectl</code> and these
resources must be removed manually.</p></li></ol></div></aside></div><h2 id=show-differences-in-manifests>Show differences in manifests</h2><p>You can show the differences in the generated manifests in a YAML style diff between the default profile and a
customized install using these commands:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl manifest generate &gt; 1.yaml
$ istioctl manifest generate -f samples/operator/pilot-k8s.yaml &gt; 2.yaml
$ istioctl manifest diff 1.yaml 2.yaml

</code></pre><h2 id=verify-a-successful-installation>Verify a successful installation</h2><p>You can check if the Istio installation succeeded using the <code>verify-install</code> command
which compares the installation on your cluster to a manifest you specify.</p><p>If you didn&rsquo;t generate your manifest prior to deployment, run the following command to
generate it now:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl manifest generate &lt;your original installation options&gt; &gt; $HOME/generated-manifest.yaml
</code></pre><p>Then run the following <code>verify-install</code> command to see if the installation was successful:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl verify-install -f $HOME/generated-manifest.yaml
</code></pre><h2 id=customizing-the-configuration>Customizing the configuration</h2><p>In addition to installing any of Istio&rsquo;s built-in
<a href=/v1.6/docs/setup/additional-setup/config-profiles/>configuration profiles</a>,
<code>istioctl install</code> provides a complete API for customizing the configuration.</p><ul><li><a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/>The <code>IstioOperator</code> API</a></li></ul><p>The configuration parameters in this API can be set individually using <code>--set</code> options on the command
line. For example, to enable the control plane security feature in a default configuration profile, use this command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --set values.global.controlPlaneSecurityEnabled=true
</code></pre><p>Alternatively, the <code>IstioOperator</code> configuration can be specified in a YAML file and passed to
<code>istioctl</code> using the <code>-f</code> option:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install -f samples/operator/pilot-k8s.yaml
</code></pre><div><aside class="callout tip"><div class=type><svg class="large-icon"><use xlink:href="/v1.6/img/icons.svg#callout-tip"/></svg></div><div class=content><p>For backwards compatibility, the previous <a href=https://archive.istio.io/v1.4/docs/reference/config/installation-options/>Helm installation options</a>, with the exception of Kubernetes resource settings,
are also fully supported. To set them on the command line, prepend the option name with &ldquo;<code>values.</code>&rdquo;.
For example, the following command overrides the <code>pilot.traceSampling</code> Helm configuration option:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --set values.pilot.traceSampling=0.1
</code></pre><p>Helm values can also be set in an <code>IstioOperator</code> CR (YAML file) as described in
<a href=#customize-istio-settings-using-the-helm-api>Customize Istio settings using the Helm API</a>, below.</p><p>If you want to set Kubernetes resource settings, use the <code>IstioOperator</code> API as described in
<a href=#customize-kubernetes-settings>Customize Kubernetes settings</a>.</p></div></aside></div><h3 id=identify-an-istio-component>Identify an Istio component</h3><p>The <code>IstioOperator</code> API defines components as shown in the table below:</p><table><thead><tr><th>Components</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>base</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>pilot</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>proxy</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>sidecarInjector</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>telemetry</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>policy</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>citadel</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>nodeagent</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>galley</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>ingressGateways</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>egressGateways</code></td></tr><tr><td><code>cni</code></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In addition to the core Istio components, third-party addon components are also available. These can
be enabled and configured through the <code>addonComponents</code> spec of the <code>IstioOperator</code> API or using the Helm pass-through API:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
addonComponents:
grafana:

</code></pre><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
values:
grafana:
enabled: true
</code></pre><h3 id=configure-component-settings>Configure component settings</h3><p>After you identify the name of the component from the previous table, you can use the API to set the values
using the <code>--set</code> flag, or create an overlay file and use the <code>--filename</code> flag. The <code>--set</code> flag
works well for customizing a few parameters. Overlay files are designed for more extensive customization, or
tracking configuration changes.</p><p>The simplest customization is to turn a component on or off from the configuration profile default.</p><p>To disable the telemetry component in a default configuration profile, use this command:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install --set components.telemetry.enabled=false
</code></pre><p>Alternatively, you can disable the telemetry component using a configuration overlay file:</p><ol><li>Create this file with the name <code>telemetry_off.yaml</code> and these contents:</li></ol><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
components:
telemetry:
enabled: false
</code></pre><ol><li>Use the <code>telemetry_off.yaml</code> overlay file with the <code>istioctl install</code> command:</li></ol><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl install -f telemetry_off.yaml
</code></pre><p>Another customization is to select different namespaces for features and components. The following is an example
of installation namespace customization:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
metadata:
namespace: istio-system
spec:
components:
citadel:
namespace: istio-citadel
</code></pre><p>Applying this file will cause the default profile to be applied, with components being installed into the following
namespaces:</p><ul><li>The Citadel component is installed into <code>istio-citadel</code> namespace</li><li>Remaining Istio components installed into istio-system namespace</li></ul><h3 id=configure-gateways>Configure gateways</h3><p>Gateways are a special type of component, since multiple ingress and egress gateways can be defined. In the
<a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/><code>IstioOperator</code> API</a>, gateways are defined as a list type.
The <code>default</code> profile installs one ingress gateway, called <code>istio-ingressgateway</code>. You can inspect the default values
for this gateway:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl profile dump --config-path components.ingressGateways
$ istioctl profile dump --config-path values.gateways.istio-ingressgateway
</code></pre><p>These commands show both the <code>IstioOperator</code> and Helm settings for the gateway, which are used together to define the
generated gateway resources. The built-in gateways can be customized just like any other component.
A new user gateway can be created by adding a new list entry:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
components:
ingressGateways:

- port: 5353
name: tcp-dns
</code></pre><p>Note that Helm values (<code>spec.values.gateways.istio-ingressgateway/egressgateway</code>) are shared by all ingress/egress
gateways. If these must be customized per gateway, it is recommended to use a separate IstioOperator CR to generate
a manifest for the user gateways, separate from the main Istio installation:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1

</code></pre><h3 id=customize-istio-settings-using-the-helm-api>Customize Istio settings using the Helm API</h3><p>The <code>IstioOperator</code> API includes a pass-through interface to the <a href=https://archive.istio.io/v1.4/docs/reference/config/installation-options/>Helm API</a>
using the <code>values</code> field.</p><p>The following YAML file configures global and Pilot settings through the Helm API:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
values:
pilot:
traceSampling: 0.1 # override from 1.0
global:
monitoringPort: 15050
</code></pre><p>Some parameters will temporarily exist in both the Helm and <code>IstioOperator</code> APIs, including Kubernetes resources,
namespaces and enablement settings. The Istio community recommends using the <code>IstioOperator</code> API as it is more
consistent, is validated, and follows the <a href=https://github.com/istio/community/blob/master/FEATURE-LIFECYCLE-CHECKLIST.md#feature-lifecycle-checklist>community graduation process</a>.</p><h2 id=advanced-install-customization>Advanced install customization</h2><h3 id=customizing-external-charts-and-profiles>Customizing external charts and profiles</h3><p>The <code>istioctl</code> <code>install</code>, <code>manifest generate</code> and <code>profile</code> commands can use any of the following sources for charts and
profiles:</p><ul><li>compiled in charts. This is the default if no <code>--charts</code> option is set. The compiled in charts are the same as those
in the <code>manifests/</code> directory of the Istio release <code>.tgz</code>.</li><li>charts in the local file system, e.g., <code>istioctl install --charts istio-1.6.0/manifests</code></li><li>charts in GitHub, e.g., <code>istioctl install --charts https://github.com/istio/istio/releases/download/1.6.0/istio-1.6.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz</code></li></ul><p>Local file system charts and profiles can be customized by editing the files in <code>manifests/</code>. For extensive changes,
we recommend making a copy of the <code>manifests</code> directory and make changes there. Note, however, that the content layout
in the <code>manifests</code> directory must be preserved.</p><p>Profiles, found under <code>manifests/profiles/</code>, can be edited and new ones added by creating new files with the
desired profile name and a <code>.yaml</code> extension. <code>istioctl</code> scans the <code>profiles</code> subdirectory and all profiles found there
can be referenced by name in the <code>IstioOperatorSpec</code> profile field. Built-in profiles are overlaid on the default profile YAML before user
overlays are applied. For example, you can create a new profile file called <code>custom1.yaml</code> which customizes some settings
from the <code>default</code> profile, and then apply a user overlay file on top of that:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl generate --charts mycharts/ --set profile=custom1 -f path-to-user-overlay.yaml
</code></pre><p>In this case, the <code>custom1.yaml</code> and <code>user-overlay.yaml</code> files will be overlaid on the <code>default.yaml</code> file to obtain the
final values used as the input for manifest generation.</p><p>In general, creating new profiles is not necessary since a similar result can be achieved by passing multiple overlay
files. For example, the command above is equivalent to passing two user overlay files:</p><pre><code class=language-bash data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>$ istioctl generate --charts mycharts/ -f manifests/profiles/custom1.yaml -f path-to-user-overlay.yaml
</code></pre><p>Creating a custom profile is only required if you need to refer to the profile by name through the <code>IstioOperatorSpec</code>.</p><h3 id=patching-the-output-manifest>Patching the output manifest</h3><p>The <code>IstioOperator</code> CR, input to <code>istioctl</code>, is used to generate the output manifest containing the
Kubernetes resources to be applied to the cluster. The output manifest can be further customized to add, modify or delete resources
through the <code>IstioOperator</code> <a href=/v1.6/docs/reference/config/istio.operator.v1alpha1/#K8sObjectOverlay>overlays</a> API, after it is
generated but before it is applied to the cluster.</p><p>The following example overlay file (<code>patch.yaml</code>) demonstrates the type of output manifest patching that can be done:</p><pre><code class=language-yaml data-expandlinks=true data-repo=istio>apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
