Ubuntu Cluster with 22.04 Kubeadm/kubelet 1.31 resulting in this weird error when trying to replicate Sidecars Demo on local cluster, with Istio setup using helm, exactly as demonstrated in the demo video.

error: resource mapping not found for name: "peer-policy" namespace: "istio-test" from "peer-auth.yaml": no matches for kind "PeerAuthentication" in version "security.istio.io/v1"
ensure CRDs are installed first
ubuntu@master-node:~/istio$ kubectl get crd | grep peerauth
