Unless you give your CRC VM large amounts of resources, you will not be able to 
do this. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few weeks with very 
limited success. Keep in mind Service Mesh can include Jaeger, ElasticSearch, 
and Kiali along with the base Istio components and Prometheus, and they need 
alot of resources.

Don't even consider trying it without giving your CRC VM a minimum of 4 CPUs 
(I've only had luck with 5 myself). And don't even consider trying it without 
giving your CRC VM at least 20 GB RAM (and even that probably isn't enough). I 
would think giving your CRC VM 32GB RAM should be enough, but I don't have that 
much RAM to try and confirm. I don't know the magic number, but I'm pretty 
confident in saying that anything lower than 20 GB RAM will not work.

You might have better luck by disabling Grafana, Jaeger, and Kiali in the 
ServiceMeshControlPlane CR - that would reduce the amount of resource you will 
require. But once you add in demo apps like bookinfo and you start sending in 
traffic to your mesh, that will creep up more resource usage.

In short, if you plan on trying this with CRC, give the CRC VM as much CPU and 
memory as you can spare.

For the record, here is a hack script I've been using to start up Service Mesh 
on CRC - it shows the commands I've been using to try to get this to work:
