I'm starting out with Kubernetes (v1.32.1) and trying to use istio as gateway api using one control plane and two nodes (all Ubuntu 24.10, linux/amd64).
Installed istio/base and istio/istiod using helm.
helm install istio-base-release -n istio-system --create-namespace istio/base --set global.istioNamespace=istio-system
helm install istiod-release -n istio-system istio/istiod --set telemetry.enabled=true --set global.istioNamespace=istio-system --set meshConfig.ingressService=istio-gateway --set meshConfig.ingressSelector=gateway
It creates istiod (version 1.24.3) pod with status Running but it won't become ready.
NAME READY STATUS
istiod-d4f49484c-n757s 0/1 Running
Using kubectl logs for the pod I get this error:
error in cluster Kubernetes: failed to list *v1.ConfigMap: Get "https://10.96.0.1:443/api/v1/namespaces/istio-system/configmaps?fieldSelector=metadata.name%3Distio&limit=500&resourceVersion=0": dial tcp 10.96.0.1:443: connect: operation not permitted
It looks like it is a problem with RBAC but ServiceAccount, Role and RoleBinding exist for istiod.
Tried changing default Role configuration verb list to - '*' for configmaps resources but I get the same error.
