istio side car is not created

we have istio installed without the side car enabled gloablly , and I want to enable it to specific service in a new namespace

I’ve added to my deployment the following:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: gow
  labels:
    app: gowspec:
  replicas: 2
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: gow
        tier: service
      annotations:
        sidecar.istio.io/inject: "true"

while running

get namespace -L istio-injection I don’t see anything enabled , everything is empty…

How can I verify that the side car is created ? I dont see anything new ...

You can use istioctl kube-inject to make that

kubectl create namespace asdd
istioctl kube-inject -f nginx.yaml | kubectl apply -f -

nginx.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginx-deployment
  namespace: asdd
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        sidecar.istio.io/inject: "True"
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:1.7.9
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80

Result:

nginx-deployment-55b6fb474b-77788   2/2     Running   0          5m36s
nginx-deployment-55b6fb474b-jrkqk   2/2     Running   0          5m36s

Let me know if You have any more questions.

You can describe your pod to see list of containers and one of those should be sidecar container. Look for something called istio-proxy.

kubectl describe pod pod name

It should look something like below

$ kubectl describe pod demo-red-pod-8b5df99cc-pgnl7
SNIPPET from the output:

Name:               demo-red-pod-8b5df99cc-pgnl7

.....

You need to have the admission webhook for automatic sidecar injection.

kubectl get mutatingwebhookconfiguration istio-sidecar-injector -o yaml | grep "namespaceSelector:" -A5

There may be many reasons for sidecar injection failures as described here

Here is a table which shows final injection status based on different scenarios.

Based on above table its mandatory to label the namespace with a label istio-injection=enabled 

kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled --overwrite
