Serving: Running kubectl apply istio partially succeeds the first tiime.

[wtam2018]

Expected Behavior

Refer to https://github.com/knative/docs/blob/master/install/Knative-with-Minikube.md instruction to install knative. Executing kubectl apply to install istio should success without error.

  curl -L https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/download/v0.3.0/istio.yaml \\
  | sed 's/LoadBalancer/NodePort/' \\
  | kubectl apply --filename -

Actual Behavior

The kubectl apply only partial succeeded. The following errors are observed. Running the 'kubectl apply` command again can work around the issue.

Additional Info

[markusthoemmes]

We have a seperate istio-crds.yaml to solve this issue I think. Is this a matter of adjusting the documentation to reference that?

[bbrowning]

For now, yes - I believe we just need to adjust the docs.

This issue seems like it belongs in knative/docs, but I'm not sure if documenting how to install Istio is a feature or a bug :)

I ran:

curl -L https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/download/v0.3.0/istio-crds.yaml \
  | kubectl apply --filename -

Then:

curl -L https://github.com/knative/serving/releases/download/v0.3.0/istio.yaml \
  | sed 's/LoadBalancer/NodePort/' \
  | kubectl apply --filename -

And everything came up correctly this time.
