What we need to do next is deploy our demo application. But, this time, since we already saw that we are going to extend our chaos experiments into networking and that we are going to use Istio for that, our application will be slightly more complex. We will need to add a couple of Istio resources to it.

You might already be proficient with Istio. If you’re not, then you might not find sufficient information about what we are going to create here. I will not go into details about Virtual Services, Gateways, and other Istio resources. If that is not your strong point, I strongly recommend that you check out the Canary Deployments in Kubernetes with Istio And Friends course in Udemy. Even though it is not focused on everything there is to know about Istio, it does, in an indirect way, provide insights into the most important concepts and constructs.

Besides Istio-specific resources, we will also need to deploy one additional application, but I will explain that later. For now, let’s start by deploying the app in the same way as we did before.

Pulling the latest version of the repository

First, we’re going to go to the go-demo-8 directory, and we are going to pull the latest version of the repository. That’ll make sure that you have any changes that I might have made since the last time you cloned it.
