As of June 2022, there is no support for istio on MacOS m1 chip. Istio init containers fail initialization because of iptables.
Command error output: xtables parameter problem: iptables-restore: unable to initialize table 'nat'.
The temporary fix for this is to use istio operator with hub pointing to RESF's repo.
After you have installed/downloaded the istioctl command line.
Run following commands -
Set hub for istio operator.
istioctl operator init --hub=ghcr.io/resf/istio
Create namespace for istio insatallation.
kubectl create ns istio-system
Install istio
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
metadata:
namespace: istio-system
name: example-istiocontrolplane
spec:
hub: ghcr.io/resf/istio

EOF
This temporary fix is by RESF until official fix and all credit goes to them.

I found this workaround Apple Silicon/M1 builds for Istioctl #29596

use AWS Secrets & Configuration Provider for EKS: Error from server (BadRequest)

I'm following this AWS documentation which explains how to properly configure AWS Secrets Manager to let it works with EKS through Kubernetes Secrets.
I successfully followed step by step all the different commands as explained in the documentation.
The only difference I get is related to this step where I have to run:
kubectl get po --namespace=kube-system
The expected output should be:
csi-secrets-store-qp9r8 3/3 Running 0 4m
csi-secrets-store-zrjt2 3/3 Running 0 4m
but instead I get:
csi-secrets-store-provider-aws-lxxcz 1/1 Running 0 5d17h
csi-secrets-store-provider-aws-rhnc6 1/1 Running 0 5d17h
csi-secrets-store-secrets-store-csi-driver-ml6jf 3/3 Running 0 5d18h
csi-secrets-store-secrets-store-csi-driver-r5cbk 3/3 Running 0 5d18h
As you can see the names are different, but I'm quite sure it's ok :-)
The real problem starts here in step 4: I created the following YAML file (as you ca see I added some parameters):
apiVersion: secrets-store.csi.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: SecretProviderClass
metadata:
name: aws-secrets
spec:
provider: aws
parameters:
objects: |
- objectName: "mysecret"
objectType: "secretsmanager"
And finally I created a deploy (as explain here in step 5) using the following yaml file:
# test-deployment.yaml
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: nginx-secrets-store-inline
spec:
serviceAccountName: iamserviceaccountforkeyvaultsecretmanagerresearch
containers:
- image: nginx
name: nginx
volumeMounts:
- name: mysecret-volume
mountPath: "/mnt/secrets-store"
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: mysecret-volume
csi:
driver: secrets-store.csi.k8s.io
readOnly: true
volumeAttributes:
secretProviderClass: "aws-secrets"
After the deployment through the command:
kubectl apply -f test-deployment.yaml -n mynamespace
The pod is not able to start properly because the following error is generated:
Error from server (BadRequest): container "nginx" in pod "nginx-secrets-store-inline" is waiting to start: ContainerCreating
But, for example, if I run the deployment with the following yaml the POD will be successfully created
# test-deployment.yaml
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: nginx-secrets-store-inline
spec:
serviceAccountName: iamserviceaccountforkeyvaultsecretmanagerresearch
containers:
- image: nginx
name: nginx
volumeMounts:
- name: keyvault-credential-volume
mountPath: "/mnt/secrets-store"
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: keyvault-credential-volume
emptyDir: {} # <<== !! LOOK HERE !!
as you can see I used
emptyDir: {}
So as far I can see the problem here is related to the following YAML lines:
csi:
driver: secrets-store.csi.k8s.io
readOnly: true
volumeAttributes:
secretProviderClass: "aws-secrets"
To be honest it's even not clear in my mind what's happing here.
Probably I didn't properly enabled the volume permission in EKS?
Sorry but I'm a newbie in both AWS and Kubernetes configurations.
Thanks for you time
--- NEW INFO ---
If I run
kubectl describe pod nginx-secrets-store-inline -n mynamespace
where nginx-secrets-store-inline is the name of the pod, I get the following output:
Events:
Type Reason Age From Message
---- ------ ---- ---- -------

Any hints?
Finally I realized why it wasn't working. As explained here, the error:
Warning FailedMount 3s (x4 over 6s) kubelet, kind-control-plane MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume "secrets-store-inline" : rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to get secretproviderclass default/azure, error: secretproviderclasses.secrets-store.csi.x-k8s.io "azure" not found
is related to namespace:
The SecretProviderClass being referenced in the volumeMount needs to exist in the same namespace as the application pod.
So both the yaml file should be deployed in the same namespace (adding, for example, the -n mynamespace argument).
Finally I got it working!

Istio: Health check / sidecar fails when I enable the JWT RequestAuthentication

OBSOLETE:
I keep this post for further reference, but you can check better diagnose (not solved yet, but workarounded) in
Istio: RequestAuthentication jwksUri does not resolve internal services names
UPDATE:
In Istio log we see the next error. uaa is a kubernetes pod serving OAUTH authentication/authorization. It is accessed with the name uaa from the normal services. I do not know why the istiod cannot find uaa host name. Have I to use an specific name? (remember, standard services find uaa host perfectly)

Original question
I have a service that is working fine, after injecting istio sidecar to a standard kubernetes pod.
I'm trying to add jwt Authentication, and for this, I'm following the official guide Authorization with JWT
My problem is
If I create the JWT resources (RequestAuthorization and AuthorizationPolicy) AFTER injecting the istio dependencies, everything (seems) to work fine
But if I create the JWT resources (RequestAuthorization and AuthorizationPolicy) and then inject the Istio the pod doesn't start. After checking the logs, seems that the sidecar is not able to work (maybe checking the health?)
My code:

Prometheus alert manager doesnt send alert k8s

Im using prometheus operator 0.3.4 and alert manager 0.20 and it doesnt work, i.e. I see that the alert is fired (on prometheus UI on the alerts tab) but I didnt get any alert to the email. by looking at the logs I see the following , any idea ? please see the warn in bold maybe this is the reason but not sure how to fix it...

Proper debug steps to help with these kind of scenarios:
Enable Alertmanager debug logs: add argument --log.level=debug
Verify Alertmanager cluster is formed properly (Check /status endpoint and verify all peers are listed)
Verify that Prometheus is sending alerts to all Alertmanager peers (Check /status endpoint and verify all Alertmanager peers are listed)
End to End testing: Generate a test alert, alert should be seen in Prometheus UI, then alert should be seen in Alertmanager UI, finally alert notification should be seen.

CrashLoopBackOff Error when deploying Django app on GKE (Kubernetes)

Folks,
What problem now still persists:
I have now gone beyond the code getting stuck on CrashLoopBackOff by fixing the Dockerfile run command as suggested by Emil Gi, however the external IP is not forwarding to my pod library app server
Status
Fixed port to 8080 in Dockerfile and ensured it is consistent across
Made sure Dockerfile has proper commands so that it doesn't terminate immediately post startup, this was what was causing the CrashLoop Back
Problem is still that the load balancer external IP I click on gives this error "This site can’t be reached34.93.141.11 refused to connect."
Original Question:
How do I resolve this CrashLoopBackOff? I looked at many docs and tried debugging but unsure what is causing this? The app runs perfectly in local mode, it even deploys smoothly into appengine standard, but GKE nope. Any pointers to debug this further most appreciated.
Problem: The cloudsql proxy container is running, but the library-app container is having CrashLoopBackOff error. The pod was assigned to a node, starts pulling the images, starting the images, and then it goes into this BackOff state.

I think a bunch of things all came together
I found the password to db had a special character that needed to be put within quotes and then ensuring port # where accurate across the Dockerfile, library.yaml files. This ensured the secrets actually worked, I detected in the logs a password mismatch issue.
IMPORTANT: the command line fix Emil G about ensuring my Dockerfile doesn't exit quickly, so make sure the CMD actually works and runs your server.
IMPORTANT: Finally I found a fix to the external IP not connecting to my server, see this thread where I explain what went wrong: basically I needed a security context where I had to fix the runAs to not run as root: RunAsUser issue & Clicking external IP of load balancer -> Bad Request (400) on deploying Django app on GKE (Kubernetes) and db connection failing:
I also documented all steps to deploy step 1-15 and

How to connect to GKE postgresql svc in GCP?

I'm trying to connect to the postgresql service (pod) in my kubernetes deployment but I GCP does not give a port (so I can not use something like: $ psql -h localhost -U postgresadmin1 --password -p 31070 postgresdb to connect to Postgresql and see my database).
I'm using a LoadBalancer in my service:
#cloudshell:~ (academic-veld-230622)$ psql -h 35.239.52.68 -U jhipsterpress --password -p 30728 jhipsterpress-postgresql
Password for user jhipsterpress:
psql: could not connect to server: Connection timed out
Is the server running on host "35.239.52.68" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 30728?

Thanks for your help. Any documentation is really appreciated.
Your service is currently a type clusterIP. This does not expose the service or the pods outside the cluster. You can't connect to the pod from the Cloud Shell like this since the Cloud shell is not on your VPC and the pods are not exposed.
Update your service using kubectl edit svc jhipsterpress-postgresql
Change the spec.type field to 'LoadBalancer'
You will then have an external IP that you can connect to
