How to disable Istio sidecar injection for the Kubernetes Job?

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: pod-restart
spec:
  concurrencyPolicy: Forbid
  schedule: '0 8 * * *'
  jobTemplate:
    metadata:
      annotations:
        sidecar.istio.io/inject: "false"
    spec:
      backoffLimit: 2
      activeDeadlineSeconds: 600
      template:
        spec:
          serviceAccountName: pod-restart
          restartPolicy: Never
          containers:
            - name: kubectl
              image: bitnami/kubectl
              command: ['kubectl', 'rollout', 'restart', 'deployment/myapp']

Sidecar still gets injected.

The annotation is in wrong place. You have to put it on the pod template.

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
spec:
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        metadata:
          annotations:
            sidecar.istio.io/inject: "false"

There is working CronJob example with istio injection disabled.

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: hello
spec:
  schedule: "*/1 * * * *"
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        metadata:
          annotations:
            sidecar.istio.io/inject: "false"
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: hello
            image: busybox
            args:
            - /bin/sh
            - -c
            - date; echo "Hello, World!"
          restartPolicy: OnFailure

Also there is related github issue about that.
