virtual machine WorkloadEntry documentation unclear

Open sdake opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello,

The istio.io website has had nice improvements since I last contributed. Great work all.

I am attempting to follow the howto for VMs. There is one part that may be in error, or may not be, I am not sure.

https://istio.io/latest/docs/setup/install/virtual-machine/#create-files-to-transfer-to-the-virtual-machine

In the tab Default: A WorkloadGroup is created

In the tab Automated WorkloadEntry Creation A WorkloadGroup is created This WorkloadGroup custom resource is then applied with kubectl apply -f ...

A suggestion: The WorkloadGroup is the same in either step. Is this intentional? If so, it may make sense to pull it out into its own step.

And a potentioal bug?: Why is kubectl apply -f ... applied in Automated WorkloadGroup creation, but not Default.

This may just be an error with how the tabs are constructed. I am really not clear on whether a WorkloadGroup is required in the non-automated setup.

Thank you, -steve
