Summary

Trying to follow the Get started guide to install MicroK8s on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 (mantic) install results in an error about community repositories when trying to enable "istio".

Process

1. Start with a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install (23.10 probably not relevant, but that's what I used)
2. Navigate to https://microk8s.io/ and click on "Get started"
3. Follow the steps "1.", "2." and "3." up to the last item in step "3."

Current result

$ microk8s enable istio
Addon istio was not found in any repository
To use the community maintained flavor enable the respective repository:

    microk8s enable community

Expected result

There is no error when following the "Get started" guide:

• If microk8s enable community is needed, it should be part of the instructions.
• If microk8s enable istio isn't strictly necessary, it should be removed from the instructions.
