I was running microk8s version 1.20 on my laptop and decided to upgrade it to 1.22 since it is the newest stable version.
That was easy:
sudo snap refresh microk8s --channel=1.22/stable
After the upgrade I noticed that many applications in the istio-system were not working. I taught that deleting the pod would recreate it and fix the issue but they kept failing.
When I try to remove istio I get an error:
sudo microk8s.disable istio
Disabling Istio
Error: unknown flag: --purge
And I am stuck in this state.
I have not found any solution to this yet.
