Can't create pods after attempting uninstall

[bfleming-ciena]

Bug:

What Version of Istio and Kubernetes are you using, where did you get Istio from, Installation details

istioctl 0.8.0
kubectl version 1.9.5
Rancher 1.6.13

Is Istio Auth enabled or not ?
NO

Did you install the stable istio.yaml, istio-auth.yaml.... or if using the Helm chart please provide full command line input.

helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system > $HOME/istio.yaml

What happened:

Destroyed and re-created the istio-system environment, and then any pod in other namespaces I deleted would not come back. I could also not launch any new pods. See below.

What you expected to happen:

1. Install istio.
   helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system | kubectl create -f -

Works fine. But wanted to reinstall with new optios

2. helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system | kubectl delete -f -

3. helm template install/kubernetes/helm/istio --name istio --namespace istio-system --set global.proxy.includeIPRanges="10.2.0.0/16,10.0.0.0/16" | kubectl apply -f -

4. delete my pods in my test namespace.

The pods will not relaunch.

I restarted kube-apiserver, and after a few seconds my pods relaunched.

So this will bring down my entire cluster if I wanted to change the config. Maybe a better alternatie would be to apply the new config and then just destroy all pods running in istio-system??

Thanks!
