Lab 2.2 - Unable To Start Control Plane Node

j0hns0n · August 2022

Hello everyone,

i am currently facing an issue during exercise 2.2:

My setup is the following:

Using an AWS Instance (t2.large) with the following spec:

2 CPU
8G memory
20G disk space

After startup & connect i did the following:

check firewall status - disabled
disabled swap
checked SELinux - disabled
Disabled AppArmor with the following commands

sudo systemctl stop apparmor
sudo systemctl disable apparmor

when running the mentioned shell script k8scp.sh i get the success message:

Your Kubernetes control-plane has initialized successfully!

But the kubectl at the end of the script will show the following output:

The connection to the server 172.31.39.164:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

After some time, i can run the kubectl command but it will show the CP node as NotReady.

The describe command for this node gives returns:

After some time, the node seems to terminate and any kubectl command will return this error message:

The connection to the server 172.31.39.164:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

I have the feeling, that there is some issue with the networking, but i cant figure out, what exactly. I tried the steps several times, everytime with a fresh AWS instance.

Can anyone please help me with this issue?

Many thanks in advance

HI @chrispokorni, thanks for the help and tips. After reading other threads in the forum, I have tried using the LTS version 20.04 instead of 22.04. Although the default version in EC2 does not have containerd installed, but easy to solve

Now seems to be working fine

When checking the pods of the kube-system namespace i can see that some of these are caught in a loop.

Looking closer into the kube-scheduler i can see the following:

I0825 09:23:22.313870       1 leaderelection.go:258] successfully acquired lease kube-system/kube-scheduler

amayorga · August 2022

Hello everyone.
I'm facing similar issue during this exercice.
Same AWS instance configuration and firewall and rules pre k8scp.sh execution.

Your Kubernetes control-plane has initialized successfully!

For the first few minutes of boot I can access the kubectl commands, but after a while I can't.

Any clue on this?

Thanks

kubectl get pods -n kube-system

My control-plane node information

chrispokorni · August 2022

Hello @j0hns0n and @amayorga,

Prior to provisioning the EC2 instances and any SGs needed for the lab environment, did you happen to watch the demo video from the introductory chapter of the course? It may provide tips for configuring the networking required by the EC2 instances to support the Kubernetes installation.

From all pod listings it seems that the pod network plugin (calico) is not running. It may have not been installed, or it did not start due possible provisioning and networking issues.

Regards,
-Chris

j0hns0n · August 2022

Hello @chrispokorni ,

many thanks for your reply. I watched the videos three times and read the beginning instructions several times.

i tried adjusting the script, so that the calico is initialized afterwards. In this case i got the node in a Ready state. Unfortunately the node shuts down after several minutes. I could see that the kube-controller-manager-pod had an error, which seems to cause the whole node to shut down.

when describing the kube-controller-manager i get the following output:

For some reason the startup probe seems to fail. This indicates a possible network issue. But i followed all the steps from the instructions. Do you have any idea?

Many thanks in advance

Hi @j0hns0n,

Did you experience the same behavior on Kubernetes v1.24.1, as presented by the lab guide?

A similar behavior was observed some years back prior to a new version release. Since 1.24.4 is currently the last release prior to 1.25.0, I am suspecting some unexpected changes in the code are causing this behavior.

By delaying calico start, did you eventually see all calico pods in a Running state?

Can you provide a screenshot of the SG configuration, and the output of:

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide
OR
kubectl get po -A -owide

Just to rule out any possible node and pod networking issues.

Regards,
-Chris

Hi @amayorga,

I am glad it all works now, although a bit surprised that containerd did not get installed by the k8scp.sh and k8sWorker.sh scripts.

If you look at the k8scp.sh and k8sWorker.sh script files, can you find the containerd configuration and instalation commands in each file? If they did not install containerd on either of the nodes, can you provide the content of the cp.out and worker.out files? I'd be curious to see if any errors were generated and recorded.

Regards,
-Chris

amayorga · August 2022

Hi @chrispokorni.
I've checked the k8scp.sh script and the containerd installation section is present.

# Install the containerd software
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt update
sudo apt install containerd.io -y

But not worked for me

Sorry but I don't have the output of the execution in which the installation of containerd failed
