Preparatory steps

Install the istio addon.

Installing the addon

Several installation options are available for the addon.

Take into account the total maximum system requirements of addons that will be placed on groups of worker nodes. If necessary, perform manual scaling for groups of worker nodes or configure automatic scaling before install.

  1. Install the addon:

    1. Go to VK Cloud personal account.

    2. Select project, where the cluster will be placed.

    3. Go to ContainersKubernetes clusters.

    4. Click on the name of the desired cluster.

    5. Go to Addons tab.

    6. If there are already installed addons in the cluster, click on the Add addon button.

    7. Click the Install addon button on the kiali addon card.

    8. Edit if necessary:

      • application name;

      • the name of the namespace where the addon will be installed;

      • addon settings code.

    9. Click the Install addon button.

      The installation of the addon in the cluster will begin. This process can take a long time.

  2. Connect to Kiali.

Editing the addon setup code during installation

Setting the password to integrate with Grafana

When installing an addon with default parameters, integration with Grafana will be unavailable.

To allow the integration, specify the admin Grafana user's password during the addon installation. To do this, change the value of the field in the addon setup code:

external_services:  grafana:    auth:      password: "<password for the admin Grafana user>"

After editing the addon code continue installing the addon.
