# Istio

## Upgrade Istio Manifests

Istio ships with an installer called `istioctl`, which is a deployment /
debugging / configuration management tool for Istio all in one package.
In this section, we explain how to upgrade our istio kustomize packages
by leveraging `istioctl`. Assuming the new version is `X.Y.Z` and the
old version is `X1.Y1.Z1`:

1. Make a copy of the old istio manifests tree, which will become the
kustomization for the new Istio version:

$ export MANIFESTS_SRC=<path/to/manifests/repo>
$ export ISTIO_OLD=$MANIFESTS_SRC/common/istio-X1-Y1
$ export ISTIO_NEW=$MANIFESTS_SRC/common/istio-X-Y
$ cp -a $ISTIO_OLD $ISTIO_NEW

2. Download `istioctl` for version `X.Y.Z`:

$ ISTIO_VERSION="X.Y.Z"
$ wget "https://github.com/istio/istio/releases/download/${ISTIO_VERSION}/istio-${ISTIO_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz"
$ tar xvfz istio-${ISTIO_VERSION}-linux-amd64.tar.gz
# sudo mv istio-${ISTIO_VERSION}/bin/istioctl /usr/local/bin/istioctl

3. Use `istioctl` to generate an `IstioOperator` resource, the
CustomResource used to describe the Istio Control Plane:

$ cd $ISTIO_NEW
$ istioctl profile dump default > profile.yaml

---
**NOTE**

`istioctl` comes with a bunch of [predefined profiles](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/additional-setup/config-profiles/)
(`default`, `demo`, `minimal`, etc.). The `default` profile is installed by default.

---

4. Generate manifests and add them to their respective packages. We
will generate manifests using `istioctl`, the
`profile.yaml` file from upstream and the
`profile-overlay.yaml` file that contains our desired
changes:

$ export PATH="$MANIFESTS_SRC/scripts:$PATH"
$ cd $ISTIO_NEW
$ istioctl manifest generate --cluster-specific -f profile.yaml -f profile-overlay.yaml > dump.yaml
$ split-istio-packages -f dump.yaml
$ mv $ISTIO_NEW/crd.yaml $ISTIO_NEW/istio-crds/base
$ mv $ISTIO_NEW/install.yaml $ISTIO_NEW/istio-install/base
$ mv $ISTIO_NEW/cluster-local-gateway.yaml $ISTIO_NEW/cluster-local-gateway/base
$ rm dump.yaml

---
**NOTE**

`split-istio-packages` is a python script in the same folder as this file.
The `ruamel.yaml` version used is 0.16.12.

`--cluster-specific` is a flag that determines if a current K8s cluster context will be used to dynamically
detect default settings. Ensure you have a target cluster ready before running the above commands.
We set this flag because `istioctl manifest generate` generates manifest files with resources that are no
longer supported in Kubernetes 1.25 (`policy/v1beta1`). See: https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/41220

## Changes to Istio's upstream manifests

### Changes to the upstream IstioOperator profile

Changes to Istio's upstream profile `default` are the following:

- Add a `cluster-local-gateway` component for Kserve. Knative-local-gateway is now obsolete https://github.com/kubeflow/manifests/pull/2355/commits/adc00b804404ea08685a044ae595be0bed9adb59.
- Disable the EgressGateway component. We do not use it and it adds unnecessary complexity.

Those changes are captured in the [profile-overlay.yaml](profile-overlay.yaml)
file.

### Changes to the upstream manifests using kustomize

The Istio kustomizations make the following changes:

- Remove PodDisruptionBudget from `istio-install` and `cluster-local-gateway` kustomizations. See:
- https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/12602
- https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/24000
- Add EnvoyFilter for adding an `X-Forwarded-For` header in requests passing through the Istio Ingressgateway, inside the `istio-install` kustomization.
- Add Istio AuthorizationPolicy to allow all requests to the Istio Ingressgateway and the Istio cluster-local gateway.
- Add Istio AuthorizationPolicy in Istio's root namespace, so that sidecars deny traffic by default (explicit deny-by-default authorization model).
- Add Gateway CRs for the Istio Ingressgateway and the Istio cluster-local gateway, as `istioctl` stopped generating them in later versions.
- Add the istio-system namespace object to `istio-namespace`, as `istioctl` stopped generating it in later versions.
- Configure TCP KeepAlives.
- Disable tracing as it causes DNS breakdown. See:
https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/29898
- Set ENABLE_DEBUG_ON_HTTP=false according to https://istio.io/latest/docs/ops/best-practices/security/#control-plane
