Check control plane implementation

Run the following command to identify your cluster's control plane implementation:

gcloudcontainerfleetmeshdescribe--projectFLEET_PROJECT_ID

The output is similar to the following:

  ...  membershipSpecs:    projects/746296320118/locations/us-central1/memberships/demo-cluster-1:      mesh:        management: MANAGEMENT_AUTOMATIC  membershipStates:    projects/746296320118/locations/us-central1/memberships/demo-cluster-1:      servicemesh:        controlPlaneManagement:          details:          - code: REVISION_READY            details: 'Ready: asm-managed'          state: ACTIVE          implementation: TRAFFIC_DIRECTOR  ...

The possible values of theimplementation are:

• TRAFFIC_DIRECTOR: The core infrastructure of Google Cloud serves as theCloud Service Mesh control plane.
• ISTIOD: managed instance of istiod serves as the Cloud Service Meshcontrol plane.
• UPDATING: The cluster is being migrated between implementations. Soon youwill have theTRAFFIC_DIRECTOR implementation.

If you don't seecontrolPlaneManagement.state: ACTIVE this means you don'thave a managed control plane. To confirm that you have an in-cluster controlplane, check for anistiod deployment in youristio-system namespace:

kubectl-nistio-systemgetdeployistiod

The output is similar to the following:
