Hi, all,

I was trying the lab on AWS cloud. I successfully started a master and a node, and the node has successfully joined the cluster. However, when I start the deployment, there is no available nginx in the deployment.

=========== output ============

ubuntu@ip-10-0-0-69:~$ kubectl get deployments

NAME      DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE

nginx     1         1         1            0           23m

=========== output ============

The event is as follows, which shows the pod sandbox fails.

Does anyone have any idea about what went wrong in this?

Also, does anyone have any idea about the steps to turn down the EC2 instance when I finish practicing, and then turn on the instances to resume practicing? Thanks.

Hi, 

I just attempted the Labs from Chapter 3 on 2 EC2 instances on AWS and I did not run into any issues. I also researched the issue you have described, and it may be networking related. It may have to do with the pod network used (Flannel, Calico) and/or the networking/firewall rules (security group, VPC, network ACL) configured for the EC2 instances. 

I setup my 2 EC2's as Ubuntu VMs on t2.micro, with public IPs, inside a default security group where I opened all inbound TCP traffic (clearly not best practice, but for the purpose of these exercises it works). 

Here is a list of ports used by Kubernetes which need to be open on each node:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/install-kubeadm/#check-required-ports

Can you provide some details about your setup? It may help in identifying the source of your issues.

Stopping the EC2 instances:

EC2 Dashboard > Instances > select the checkboxes of your instances > Action > Instance State > Stop

Starting instances: follow the same path, then > Start

Good luck!
