When your Istio is using external control plane, deploying Kiali is not difficult but you will need to make sure the following
1. Deploy prometheus into namespace istio-system, otherwise, Kiali seems hard coded (or default configuration) will always look for prometheus in istio-system namespace
2. Change the sample kiali deployment file so that the Kiali goes into istio installed namespace, in our example, istio external control plane will be in namespace external-istiod. So make changes to the sample deployment file (which comes with istio package), replace istio-system with external-istiod in the entire file, so that kiali and its services, configmaps etc will all be in external-istiod, then deploy it.
3. Expose the kiali service with a loadbalancer, then access Kiali using the load balancer.
