Manifests to create an Istio gRPC POC

Running locally

Prerequisites

Make sure you're connected to a cloud-based Kubernetes service (I'm using EKS) and have the following binaries installed and accessible via the PATH:

• kubectl
• curl
• grpcurl

Run the following commands to install Istio:

$ make istio_download

$ make apply_istio

Manifests

Replace any instances of scratchpad.xyz with a domain of your choosing. I own this domain and that's what I'm using for my tests (so you won't have access to point this to your Istio gateway).

Run the following command to create a namespace for the gateway and services:

$ make apply_namespace

Run the following command to create the Istio gateway:

$ make apply_gateway

Run the following commands to create the services:

$ make http_apply_hello

$ make http_apply_goodbye

$ make grpc_apply_hello

Testing

Run the following command to assert connectivity to your services:

$ make check
