IstioOperator Options

Configuration affecting Istio control plane installation version and shape.

IstioOperatorSpec

IstioOperatorSpec defines the desired installed state of Istio components. The spec is a used to define a customization of the default profile values that are supplied with each Istio release. Because the spec is a customization API, specifying an empty IstioOperatorSpec results in a default Istio component values.

apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
  profile: default
  hub: gcr.io/istio-testing
  tag: latest
  revision: 1-8-0
  meshConfig:
    accessLogFile: /dev/stdout
    enableTracing: true
  components:
    egressGateways:
    - name: istio-egressgateway
      enabled: true
FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
profilestring

Path or name for the profile e.g.

  • minimal (looks in profiles dir for a file called minimal.yaml)
  • /tmp/istio/install/values/custom/custom-install.yaml (local file path)

default profile is used if this field is unset.

No
installPackagePathstring

Path for the install package. e.g.

  • /tmp/istio-installer/nightly (local file path)
No
hubstring

Root for docker image paths e.g. docker.io/istio

No
tagTypeInterface

Version tag for docker images e.g. 1.7.2

No
namespacestring

Namespace to install control plane resources into. If unset, Istio will be installed into the same namespace as the IstioOperator CR.

No
revisionstring

Identify the revision this installation is associated with. This option is currently experimental.

No
meshConfigTypeMapStringInterface

Config used by control plane components internally.

No
componentsIstioComponentSetSpec

Kubernetes resource settings, enablement and component-specific settings that are not internal to the component.

No
addonComponentsmap<string, ExternalComponentSpec>

Extra addon components which are not explicitly specified above.

No
valuesTypeMapStringInterface

Overrides for default values.yaml. This is a validated pass-through to Helm templates. See the Helm installation options for schema details. Anything that is available in IstioOperatorSpec should be set above rather than using the passthrough. This includes Kubernetes resource settings for components in KubernetesResourcesSpec.

No
unvalidatedValuesTypeMapStringInterface

Unvalidated overrides for default values.yaml. Used for custom templates where new parameters are added.

No

InstallStatus

Observed state of IstioOperator

FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
statusStatus

Overall status of all components controlled by the operator.

  • If all components have status NONE, overall status is NONE.
  • If all components are HEALTHY, overall status is HEALTHY.
  • If one or more components are RECONCILING and others are HEALTHY, overall status is RECONCILING.
  • If one or more components are UPDATING and others are HEALTHY, overall status is UPDATING.
  • If components are a mix of RECONCILING, UPDATING and HEALTHY, overall status is UPDATING.
  • If any component is in ERROR state, overall status is ERROR.
  • If further action is needed for reconciliation to proceed, overall status is ACTION_REQUIRED.
No
messagestring

Optional message providing additional information about the existing overall status.

errorstringNo

K8sObjectOverlay.PathValue

FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
pathstring

Path of the form a.[key1:value1].b.[:value2] Where [key1:value1] is a selector for a key-value pair to identify a list element and [:value] is a value selector to identify a list element in a leaf list. All path intermediate nodes must exist.

No
valueTypeInterface

Value to add, delete or replace. For add, the path should be a new leaf. For delete, value should be unset. For replace, path should reference an existing node. All values are strings but are converted into appropriate type based on schema.

No

k8s.io.apimachinery.pkg.apis.meta.v1.LabelSelector

A label selector is a label query over a set of resources. The result of matchLabels and matchExpressions are ANDed. An empty label selector matches all objects. A null label selector matches no objects.

FieldTypeDescriptionRequired
matchLabelsmap<string, string>

matchLabels is a map of {key,value} pairs. A single {key,value} in the matchLabels map is equivalent to an element of matchExpressions, whose key field is “key”, the operator is “In”, and the values array contains only “value”. The requirements are ANDed. +optional

No
matchExpressionsLabelSelectorRequirement[]

matchExpressions is a list of label selector requirements. The requirements are ANDed. +optional

No

InstallStatus.Status

Status describes the current state of a component.

NameDescription
NONE

Component is not present.

UPDATING

Component is being updated to a different version.

RECONCILING

Controller has started but not yet completed reconciliation loop for the component.

HEALTHY

Component is healthy.

ERROR

Component is in an error state.

ACTION_REQUIRED

Overall status only and would not be set as a component status. Action is needed from the user for reconciliation to proceed e.g. There are proxies still pointing to the control plane revision when try to remove an IstioOperator CR.
