Provision BookInfo

BookInfo Overview

Bookinfo is a sample microservice architecture application that we’ll be using for our workshop.The application provides details about the book such as publisher details, overview, reviews and ratings through the microservices. The BookInfo Application is deployed to bookinfo namespace

Deploy BookInfo

Create new project with the name 'bookinfo'
```
oc new-project bookinfo
```
By creating a ServiceMeshMemberRoll resource and specifying the namespaces where your content is located, we can add applications, workloads, or services to your mesh .
Create a Custom Resource Definition file for the Control Plane with name ServiceMeshMemberRoll_default.yaml using vim or any other editor on the CLI. Copy paste the below yaml into the file and save it.
```
apiVersion: maistra.io/v1
kind: ServiceMeshMemberRoll
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  members:
    - bookinfo
```

Apply the CRD to your cluster using the below command

oc apply -f ServiceMeshMemberRoll_default.yaml -n istio-system

Provision the application by using the below commands.

oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maistra/istio/maistra-2.1/samples/bookinfo/platform/kube/bookinfo.yaml -n bookinfo
oc apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maistra/istio/maistra-2.1/samples/bookinfo/networking/bookinfo-gateway.yaml -n bookinfo

You can now verify that the bookinfo service is responding by using reqbin.
Open a browser window and navigate to:
```
https://reqbin.com/curl
```

Copy and paste the below command.

curl -v http://istio-ingressgateway-istio-system.%CLUSTER_WILDCARD_URL%/productpage

If the CLuster URL is not populated, you can also retrieve the cluster wildcard url using the below command

oc get ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator -o json | jq -r '.status.domain'

You should see 200 (OK) status

```
https://kiali-istio-system.%CLUSTER_WILDCARD_URL%
```
Navigate to Graph and Select all Namespaces

You should be able to see the traffic from istio-gateway to the bookinfo application as shown below:
