Hi can I deploy a subset of Istio just for handling Ingress?
What parts of Istio do I need to enable?
What I need is the Gateway Load Balancer talking to Pods, no Service Mesh needed after that.
The minimal profile will install only istiod and an ingress gateway which is the smallest configuration for ingress.

Hi looks like ingressgateway isn’t installed with minimal profile.
There is no built-in profile to install just istio-ingressgateway.
Maybe I can try create my own manifest…
Is istio-pilot needed by istio-ingressgateway?
Ah yes, sorry the gateway is indeed not there. You can start with minimal and add a gateway per https://istio.io/docs/setup/install/istioctl/#configure-gateways (basically just flip enabled to true on istio-ingressgateway).
