istioctl experimental metrics

Prints the metrics for the specified service(s) when running in Kubernetes.

This command finds a Prometheus pod running in the specified istio system namespace. It then executes a series of queries per requested workload to find the following top-level workload metrics: total requests per second, error rate, and request latency at p50, p90, and p99 percentiles. The query results are printed to the console, organized by workload name.

All metrics returned are from server-side reports. This means that latencies and error rates are from the perspective of the service itself and not of an individual client (or aggregate set of clients). Rates and latencies are calculated over a time interval of 1 minute.

istioctl experimental rbac can

This command lets you query whether a specific request will be allowed or denied under current Istio RBAC policies. It constructs a fake request with the custom subject and action specified in the command line to check if your Istio RBAC policies are working as expected. Note the fake request is only used locally to evaluate the effect of the Istio RBAC policies, no actual request will be issued.

METHOD is the HTTP method being taken, like GET, POST, etc. SERVICE is the short service name the action is being taken on. PATH is the HTTP path within the service.

istioctl kube-inject

kube-inject manually injects envoy sidecar into kubernetes workloads. Unsupported resources are left unmodified so it is safe to run kube-inject over a single file that contains multiple Service, ConfigMap, Deployment, etc. definitions for a complex application. Its best to do this when the resource is initially created.

k8s.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/pod-overview/#pod-templates is updated for Job, DaemonSet, ReplicaSet, Pod and Deployment YAML resource documents. Support for additional pod-based resource types can be added as necessary.

The Istio project is continually evolving so the Istio sidecar configuration may change unannounced. When in doubt re-run istioctl kube-inject on deployments to get the most up-to-date changes.

To override the sidecar injection template built into istioctl, the parameters --injectConfigFile or --injectConfigMapName can be used. Both options override any other template configuration parameters, eg. --hub and --tag. These options would typically be used with the file/configmap created with a new Istio release.
