|
## Setup Repo Info
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console

|
||

|
## Installing the Chart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To install the chart with the release name `istio-base`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```console
|
||
|
|
kubectl create namespace istio-system
|
||
|
|
helm install istio-base istio/base -n istio-system
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Profiles
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Istio Helm charts have a concept of a `profile`, which is a bundled collection of value presets.
|
||
|
|
These can be set with `--set profile=<profile>`.
|
||
|
|
For example, the `demo` profile offers a preset configuration to try out Istio in a test environment, with additional features enabled and lowered resource requirements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For consistency, the same profiles are used across each chart, even if they do not impact a given chart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Explicitly set values have highest priority, then profile settings, then chart defaults.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an implementation detail of profiles, the default values for the chart are all nested under `defaults`.
|
||
|
|
When configuring the chart, you should not include this.
|
||
|
|
That is, `--set some.field=true` should be passed, not `--set defaults.some.field=true`.
