How Do I Disable Sidecar Injection for Workloads?

If sidecar injection is enabled for a namespace of a cluster, sidecars are automatically injected for the pods of all workloads in the namespace. To prevent sidecars from being injected for some workloads, perform the following operations:

1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to go to the cluster console. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Resources > Workloads.
2. Locate the workload and click Edit YAML in the Operation column.
3. Locate the target field based on the service mesh version and add sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'false'.
   • For service meshes earlier than 1.13
     Locate the spec.template.metadata.annotations field and add sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'false'.

           annotations:
             sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'false'

     

   • For service meshes 1.13 or later:

     Locate the spec.template.metadata.label field and add sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'false'.

           label:
             sidecar.istio.io/inject: 'false'
