I have not enabled RBAC at all. What I have done is that i have enabled istio and all the pods are now running with side car. I am not able to attach or exec to pods which have istio. I am able to attach or exec which do not have istio proxy side car.

Need help here.

This seems to be a permission (possibly RBAC) issue.
See Kubernetes pod security-policy.

For instance gluster/gluster-kubernetes issue 432 points to Azure PR 1961, which disable the cluster-admin rights (although you can customize/override the admission-controller flags passed to the API server).

So it depends on the nature of your Kubernetes environment.
