<p>We try to deploy the hello world application from istio (booking info).</p>

<h1>Environment</h1>

<p>Region: Ireland
Service: EKS v2
Istio: 1.0.1
Helm:</p>

<pre><code>  Client: Client: &amp;version.Version{SemVer:"v2.9.1", GitCommit:"20adb27c7c5868466912eebdf6664e7390ebe710", GitTreeState:"clean"}
  Server: Server: &amp;version.Version{SemVer:"v2.9.1", GitCommit:"20adb27c7c5868466912eebdf6664e7390ebe710", GitTreeState:"clean"}
</code></pre>

<h1>Context</h1>

<p>We have intalled istio 1.0.1 with helm, with this command:</p>

<pre><code>helm install install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system --set sidecarInjectorWebhook.enabled=true --set galley.enabled=true
</code></pre>

<p>We tried also to install istio without galley and without auto sidecar injection without success. Our ingress controller does not obtain an IP. </p>

<p>But unfortunately, our istio-ingressgateway has no external-ip. The status PENDING means that the platform (here AWS) can't create a LoadBalancer.
It can't be the case, because we were also successfull doing that, when we were in region Oregon with EKS v1. The LoadBalancer was created. </p>

<pre><code>kubectl get services -n istio-system -o wide

NAME                       TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) SELECTOR
istio-ingressgateway       LoadBalancer   172.20.195.15    &lt;pending&gt;     80:31380/TCP,443:31390/TCP,31400:31400/TCP,15011:31020/TCP,8060:30312/TCP,853:31767/TCP15030:32216/TCP,15031:32384/TCP   17h app=istio-ingressgateway,istio=ingressgateway
</code></pre>

<p>A public subnet in EKS is needed for the loadbalancer.
After adding a public subnet, everthing works fine.</p>
