Huawei Cloud

Follow these instructions to prepare a cluster for Istio using the Huawei Cloud Container Engine. You can deploy a Kubernetes cluster to Huawei Cloud quickly and easily in the Cloud Container Engine Console, which fully supports Istio.

Following the Huawei Cloud Instructions to prepare a cluster before manually installing Istio, proceed as follows:

1. Log in to the CCE console. Choose Dashboard > Buy Cluster to open the Buy Hybrid Cluster page. An alternative way to open that page is to choose Resource Management > Clusters in the navigation pane and click Buy next to Hybrid Cluster.

2. On the Configure Cluster page, configure cluster parameters. In this example, a majority of parameters retain default values. After the cluster configuration is complete, click Next: Create Node to go to the node creation page.

   The image below shows the GUI where you create and configure the cluster:

   

3. On the node creation page, configure the following parameters

4. Configure kubectl

5. Now you can install Istio on CCE cluster according to install guide.

6. Configure ELB to expose Istio ingress gateway if needed.

   • Create Elastic Load Balancer

   • Bind the ELB instance to istio-ingressgateway service

     Set the ELB instance ID and loadBalancerIP to istio-ingressgateway.

$ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: annotations: kubernetes.io/elb.class: union kubernetes.io/elb.id: 4ee43d2b-cec5-4100-89eb-2f77837daa63 # ELB ID kubernetes.io/elb.lb-algorithm: ROUND_ROBIN labels: app: istio-ingressgateway install.operator.istio.io/owning-resource: unknown install.operator.istio.io/owning-resource-namespace: istio-system istio: ingressgateway istio.io/rev: default operator.istio.io/component: IngressGateways operator.istio.io/managed: Reconcile operator.istio.io/version: 1.9.0 release: istio name: istio-ingressgateway namespace: istio-system spec: clusterIP: 10.247.7.192 externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster loadBalancerIP: 119.8.36.132 ## ELB EIP ports: - name: status-port nodePort: 32484 port: 15021 protocol: TCP targetPort: 15021 - name: http2 nodePort: 30294 port: 80 protocol: TCP targetPort: 8080 - name: https nodePort: 31301 port: 443 protocol: TCP targetPort: 8443 - name: tcp nodePort: 30229 port: 31400 protocol: TCP targetPort: 31400 - name: tls nodePort: 32028 port: 15443 protocol: TCP targetPort: 15443 selector: app: istio-ingressgateway istio: ingressgateway sessionAffinity: None type: LoadBalancer EOF
