Disabling Istio
This section describes how to disable Istio in a cluster, namespace, or workload.
Disable Istio in a Cluster

- Click Tools > Istio.
- Click Disable, then click the red button again to confirm the disable action.

application in the cluster's system
project gets removed. The Istio sidecar cannot be deployed on any workloads in the cluster.
Disable Istio in a Namespace
- In the Rancher UI, go to the project that has the namespace where you want to disable Istio.
- On the Workloads tab, you will see a list of namespaces and the workloads deployed in them. Go to the namespace where you want to disable and click the ⋮ > Disable Istio Auto Injection.
Result: When workloads are deployed in this namespace, they will not have the Istio sidecar.

Disable Istio in the namespace, then redeploy the workloads with in it. They will be deployed without the Istio sidecar.
