Istio base Helm Chart

This chart installs resources shared by all Istio revisions. This includes Istio CRDs.

Setup Repo Info

helm repo add istio https://istio-release.storage.googleapis.com/charts
helm repo update

See helm repo for command documentation.

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name istio-base:

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.
