# How to migrate from Traefik to Istio

In this guide, you will learn how to migrate the Canonical Observability Stack from using Traefik as its ingress to
using Istio. Istio is a service mesh which allows you to secure and control all the network traffic on your cluster.
For more info on Istio, you can [browse the docs](https://canonical-service-mesh-documentation.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/).

## Prerequisites

* [Kubernetes](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/canonical-kubernetes/latest/)
* [Juju](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/juju/)
* The [Canonical Observability Stack](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/observability)

```{note}
The Istio charms work with Microk8s out of box. If you are using Canonical Kubernetes, see [these instructions](https://canonical-service-mesh-documentation.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/how-to/use-charmed-istio-with-canonical-kubernetes/). If you are using any other flavor of Kubernetes, see the [Istio docs](https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/platform-setup/).
```

```{note}
COS 2 does not have support for service mesh. To use service mesh, you must deploy cos from track 3 or greater or from dev.
```

## Steps

* Install Istio on the cluster

```{code} bash
juju add-model istio-system
juju deploy istio-k8s istio --channel dev/edge --trust
```
Once the charm settles, Your cluster is ready to use Istio.

* Switch back to the cos model

```{code} bash
juju switch cos
```

* Remove the Traefik charm

```{code} bash
juju remove-application traefik
```

* Now we install the istio-beacon charm. By relating all of the COS apps to the beacon, we put them on the mesh so that their network traffic becomes controlled by Istio.

```{code} bash
juju deploy istio-beacon-k8s istio-beacon --channel dev/edge --trust
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh alertmanager
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh catalogue
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh grafana
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh loki
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh mimir
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh otelcol
juju integrate istio-beacon:service-mesh tempo
```
You will need to wait a while for the model to settle but it should all reach active/idle eventually.

* Now all of our charms are on the mesh, but we still have no ingress set up. So we install the istio-ingress charm.

```{code} bash
juju deploy istio-ingress-k8s istio-ingress --channel dev/edge --trust
juju relate istio-ingress:ingress alertmanager
juju relate istio-ingress:ingress catalogue
juju relate istio-ingress:ingress grafana
juju relate istio-ingress:ingress loki
juju relate istio-ingress:ingress mimir
juju relate istio-ingress:istio-ingress-route otelcol
juju relate istio-ingress:istio-ingress-route tempo
```
Once again you will need to wait some time for this to settle.

* Your migration is not complete. To make sure everything is working navigate to `http://\<ingress-adress\>/cos-catalogue` and check that everything is still working.

* To view all of the network policies created, view the authorization policies

```{code} bash
kubectl get ap
```
