Deploy sample apps
You can install two sample apps in your demo setup: Bookinfo and httpbin. You might also install additional tools such as Keycloak as an OpenID Connect provider. These sample apps are used throughout the documentation to help test connectivity, such as in the policy guides.
Deploy Bookinfo
To test out microservice traffic management, deploy different versions of the Bookinfo sample app to both of the workload clusters. cluster1
runs the app with versions 1 and 2 of the reviews service (reviews-v1
and reviews-v2
), and cluster2
runs version 3 of the reviews service (reviews-v3
).

Save the Istio revision that your
istiod
control planes run as an environment variable.export REVISION=$(kubectl get pod -L app=istiod -n istio-system --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.labels.istio\.io/rev}') echo $REVISION
-
Create the
bookinfo
namespace in each cluster, and label the workload cluster namespaces for Istio injection so that the services become part of the service mesh.kubectl create ns bookinfo --context $MGMT_CONTEXT kubectl create ns bookinfo --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl label ns bookinfo istio.io/rev=$REVISION --overwrite=true --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl create ns bookinfo --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2 kubectl label ns bookinfo istio.io/rev=$REVISION --overwrite=true --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2

-
Verify that the Bookinfo pods have a status of
Running
in each cluster. If not, try Troubleshooting Bookinfo apps.kubectl get pods -n bookinfo --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl get pods -n bookinfo --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2
Deploy httpbin
The httpbin sample app is a simple tool to test HTTP requests and responses. Unlike curl, you can see not only the response headers, but also the request headers.
-
Save the Istio revision that your
istiod
control planes run as an environment variable.export REVISION=$(kubectl get pod -L app=istiod -n istio-system --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.labels.istio\.io/rev}') echo $REVISION
-
Create an
httpbin
namespace incluster1
, and label the namespace for Istio injection so that the services in the namespace become part of the service mesh.kubectl create ns httpbin --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl label ns httpbin istio.io/rev=$REVISION --overwrite=true --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1
-
Deploy the httpbin app.
kubectl -n httpbin apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-use-cases/main/policy-demo/httpbin.yaml --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1
-
Verify that the httpbin app is running.
kubectl -n httpbin get pods --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1
Deploy hello world
The hello world sample app is a simple way to test responses for different app versions. The following examples install two versions of hello world in one cluster, and two versions in the other workload cluster.
-
Save the Istio revision that your
istiod
control planes run as an environment variable.export REVISION=$(kubectl get pod -L app=istiod -n istio-system --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.labels.istio\.io/rev}') echo $REVISION
-
Create the
helloworld
namespace in each workload cluster, and label the namespaces for Istio injection so that the services become part of the service mesh.kubectl create ns helloworld --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl label ns helloworld istio.io/rev=$REVISION --overwrite=true --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl create ns helloworld --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2 kubectl label ns helloworld istio.io/rev=$REVISION --overwrite=true --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2
-

cluster1
.kubectl -n helloworld apply --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 -l 'service=helloworld' -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-use-cases/main/policy-demo/helloworld.yaml kubectl -n helloworld apply --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 -l 'app=helloworld,version in (v1, v2)' -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-use-cases/main/policy-demo/helloworld.yaml
-

cluster2
.kubectl -n helloworld apply --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2 -l 'service=helloworld' -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-use-cases/main/policy-demo/helloworld.yaml kubectl -n helloworld apply --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2 -l 'app=helloworld,version in (v3, v4)' -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/gloo-mesh-use-cases/main/policy-demo/helloworld.yaml
-
Verify that the hello world apps are running.
kubectl -n helloworld get pods --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT1 kubectl -n helloworld get pods --context $REMOTE_CONTEXT2
Install Keycloak
You might want to test how to restrict access to your applications to authenticated users, such as with external auth or JWT policies. You can install Keycloak in your cluster as an OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider.
The following steps install Keycloak in your cluster, and configure two user credentials as follows.
- Username:
user1
, password:password
, email:user1@example.com
- Username:
user2
, password:password
, email:user2@solo.io
Install and configure Keycloak:
-
Create a namespace for your Keycloak deployment.
kubectl --context ${MGMT_CONTEXT} create namespace keycloak
-
Create the Keycloak deployment.
kubectl --context ${MGMT_CONTEXT} -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/solo-io/workshops/master/gloo-mesh-2-3/all/data/steps/deploy-keycloak/keycloak.yaml
-
Wait for the Keycloak rollout to finish.
kubectl --context ${MGMT_CONTEXT} -n keycloak rollout status deploy/keycloak
-
Set the Keycloak endpoint details from the load balancer service.
export ENDPOINT_KEYCLOAK=$(kubectl --context ${MGMT_CONTEXT} -n keycloak get service keycloak -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].*}'):8080 export HOST_KEYCLOAK=$(echo ${ENDPOINT_KEYCLOAK} | cut -d: -f1) export PORT_KEYCLOAK=$(echo ${ENDPOINT_KEYCLOAK} | cut -d: -f2) export KEYCLOAK_URL=http://${ENDPOINT_KEYCLOAK}/auth echo $KEYCLOAK_URL
-
Set the Keycloak admin token. If you see a parsing error, try running the
curl
command by itself. You might notice that your network is blocking the requests, which might require updating the security settings so that the request can be processed.export KEYCLOAK_TOKEN=$(curl -d "client_id=admin-cli" -d "username=admin" -d "password=admin" -d "grant_type=password" "$KEYCLOAK_URL/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token" | jq -r .access_token) echo $KEYCLOAK_TOKEN
-
Use the admin token to configure Keycloak with the two users for testing purposes. If you get a
401 Unauthorized
error, run the previous command and try again.# Create initial token to register the client read -r client token <<<$(curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEYCLOAK_TOKEN}" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"expiration": 0, "count": 1}' $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin/realms/master/clients-initial-access | jq -r '[.id, .token] | @tsv') export KEYCLOAK_CLIENT=${client} # Register the client read -r id secret <<<$(curl -X POST -d "{ \"clientId\": \"${KEYCLOAK_CLIENT}\" }" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Authorization: bearer ${token}" ${KEYCLOAK_URL}/realms/master/clients-registrations/default| jq -r '[.id, .secret] | @tsv') export KEYCLOAK_SECRET=${secret} # Add allowed redirect URIs curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEYCLOAK_TOKEN}" -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"serviceAccountsEnabled": true, "directAccessGrantsEnabled": true, "authorizationServicesEnabled": true, "redirectUris": ["'https://${ENDPOINT_HTTPS_GW_CLUSTER1}'/callback"]}' $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin/realms/master/clients/${id} # Add the group attribute in the JWT token returned by Keycloak curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEYCLOAK_TOKEN}" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "group", "protocol": "openid-connect", "protocolMapper": "oidc-usermodel-attribute-mapper", "config": {"claim.name": "group", "jsonType.label": "String", "user.attribute": "group", "id.token.claim": "true", "access.token.claim": "true"}}' $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin/realms/master/clients/${id}/protocol-mappers/models # Create first user curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEYCLOAK_TOKEN}" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username": "user1", "email": "user1@example.com", "enabled": true, "attributes": {"group": "users"}, "credentials": [{"type": "password", "value": "password", "temporary": false}]}' $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin/realms/master/users # Create second user curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KEYCLOAK_TOKEN}" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username": "user2", "email": "user2@solo.io", "enabled": true, "attributes": {"group": "users"}, "credentials": [{"type": "password", "value": "password", "temporary": false}]}' $KEYCLOAK_URL/admin/realms/master/users
