Workshop review - Free vs. standard cluster #43

Closed artberger closed 4 years ago

artberger commented 6 years ago

I think that it needs to be called out on the main workshop readme which exercises you can complete with a free cluster, and which you'll need a standard cluster to make.

To me, it doesn't make sense to have users invested in the workshop with a free cluster, only to get to like Exercise 4 and not be able to continue and have to redo their setup.

@linsun @nilesh32 Please weigh in on the comment above. This issue revisits what we discussed earlier about content that's marked "optional and for paid accounts only." Art has a good point that the users must redo their work if they chose to upgrade their account in the halfway through the workshop.

Andy, can you clarify in exercise 4, the steps for free tier and paid tier to retrieve istio-ingress? so that user can do the exercise 4 with the free tier also.

@linsun , just tried the nodeport Ingress. IBM cloud has disabled access to node without a "host" header. So if we want to enable nodeport option we need to do like curl --header 'Host: www.example.com' to bypass lb.

hmm, i 'm using nodeport without the host header, and it works okay. Could accessing the istio-ingress via nodeport like this work? curl 169.60.77.186:31380/echo/universe

@szihai I had a paid cluster so never run into this issue.

Is this still an issue? I had two other people reporting this. If yes, let me know. I can edit the description. Users need to know this limitation before they start the course.

linsun commented 6 years ago

@szihai think this will be addressed with https://github.com/IBM/istio101/pull/74, agree?

szihai commented 6 years ago

Correct
