istio 0.8.0 ansible install on kubernetes is missing manifests

[nrobert13]

Is this a BUG or FEATURE REQUEST?:

Did you review https://istio.io/help/ and existing issues to identify if this is already solved or being worked on?:

Bug: Y

What Version of Istio and Kubernetes are you using, where did you get Istio from, Installation details

istioctl version 0.8.0
kubectl version 1.9.2

Is Istio Auth enabled or not ? Did you install the stable istio.yaml, istio-auth.yaml.... or if using the Helm chart please provide full command line input. ansible-playbook main.yml -e '{"cluster_flavour": "k8s"}' -e '{"istio": {"auth":true, "addon": ["prometheus", "jaeger", "servicegraph", "grafana"]}}'

What happened:

TASK [istio : Deploy Istio Auth from kubernetes file] *****************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": true, 
    "cmd": "kubectl create -f ~/.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/istio-auth.yaml", 
    "delta": "0:00:00.250578", 
    "end": "2018-06-01 12:54:44.913083", 
    "rc": 1, 
    "start": "2018-06-01 12:54:44.662505"
}

STDERR:

error: the path "/root/.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/istio-auth.yaml" does not exist

istio.yaml is also missing. so I assume with auth:false wouldn't work either.

the content of the folder looks like this:

# ls -l ~/.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/
total 216
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    26  1. Jun 00:29 addons

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    28  1. Jun 00:29 templates

most of the addons are also missing:

.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/addons/prometheus.yaml" does not exist
.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/addons/servicegraph.yaml" does not exist

#ls -l ~/.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/kubernetes/addons/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1127  1. Jun 00:29 grafana.yaml

What you expected to happen:

have istio 0.8.0 deployed on the cluster

How to reproduce it:

install k8s 1.9.2
# git clone https://github.com/istio/istio.git
# cd istio/install/ansible
# ansible-playbook main.yml -e '{"cluster_flavour": "k8s"}' -e '{"istio": {"auth":true, "addon": ["prometheus", "jaeger", "servicegraph", "grafana"]}}'

Just found the instructions on how to get those missing manifests generated in the install/kubernetes/Readme.md: If you prefer to install Istio from checking out the istio/istio repostiory, you can run updateVersion.sh in the parent directory to generate the required installation files. This directory contains files needed for installing Istio on a Kubernetes cluster

The problem is that the realeased istio-0.8.0-linux.tar.gz file ( downloaded and unpacked by ansible ) doesn't contain this script...

# ls -l ~/.istio/istio-0.8.0/install/

I believe that both the documentation and the Ansible scenario are correct.

1. The documentation mentions checking out the repository which has the script
2. Installing Ansible from the platform release zip files isn't possible because the playbooks are within the source zip file which also has the script
