Deploying the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh control plane

The operator uses a ServiceMeshControlPlane resource to determine how to install Istio and what components you want. Let's create that resource now.

  1. Create a new project by going to Home -> Projects -> Create Project
  2. Enter istio-system in the Name and click Create
  3. Navigate to Operators -> Installed Operators
  4. Click the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator.
  5. Under Istio Service Mesh Control Plane click Create Instance.
  6. Then, click Create. The Operator creates Pods, services, and Service Mesh control plane components based on your configuration parameters.

Create a ServiceMeshMemberRoll

ServiceMeshMemberRoll resource is used to to specify the namespaces associated with the Service Mesh.

  1. Navigate to Operators → Installed Operators again.
  2. Click the Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh Operator.
  3. Under Istio Service Mesh Member Roll click Create Instance
  4. Change your-project to bookinfo and delete the last line.
  5. Then, click Create.

Congratulations! You successfully installed Istio into your cluster and configured the bookinfo project to use it.
