InvalidAnnotation

This message occurs when an annotation mentions istio.io but the annotation

• isn't an annotation known to this version of Istio
• is known, but has a disallowed value, such as a string where a number is needed
• is applied to the wrong kind of resource, such as a pod-specific resource applied to a service

Consult Istio's list of resource annotations.

Example

You will receive this message:

{{< text plain >}} Warning [IST0108] (Service httpbin.default) Unknown annotation: networking.istio.io/exportTwo {{< /text >}}

when your cluster has following namespace:

{{< text yaml >}} apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: httpbin labels: app: httpbin annotations: # no such Istio annotation networking.istio.io/exportTwo: bar spec: ports:

• name: http port: 8000 targetPort: 80 selector: app: httpbin {{< /text >}}

In this example, the service httpbin is using networking.istio.io/exportTwo instead of networking.istio.io/exportTo.

How to resolve

• Delete or rename unknown annotations
• Change annotations with disallowed values
