maxnilz / grpc-istio-demo

A demo for showcasing gRPC with Istio.

gRPC Istio Demo

Based on Istio 1.1.7

How to start

1. install minikube
2. install pv & pvc (used by envoy.grpc_json_transcoder filter, mounting the proto_descriptor)
3. install istio by using the istio's installer in this repo
4. kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled
5. kubectl apply -f istio/idp.yaml
6. kubectl apply -f istio/server.yaml
7. kubectl apply -f istio/web-ui.yaml
8. kubectl apply -f istio/gateway.yaml
9. kubectl apply -f istio/envoyfilter*.yaml
10. make create-istio-frontend-ingressgateway (used by the front-end application only which have no envoy.ext_authz applied)
11. kubectl apply -f istio/frontend-gateway.yaml
12. make run-auth-server
13. make run-idp-example-app

• Note: Since I'm using minikube, there is an IP address is hardcode 192.168.39.224 & port 31380 as well
• Note: There is a domain xianchao.me point to my local machine with the network-interface IP address

Play & verify

1. Set Http header Authorization Bearer IDToken before send any request
2. Send http POST request to /demo-server/v1/sayhello & /demo-server/v1/emoji via curl or postman
3. Send grpc-web request to /demo-server/proto.EmojiService/InsertEmojis via browser
