Unable to complete networking for lab 3.1 on AWS

shadyproject

I am currently trying to complete the network initialization as part of lab 3.1. All of the previous steps have completed successfully. The ec2 instance has a security group setting that allows all inbound traffic from all sources.

The kubeadm init command completes successfully. However, the kubectl apply command fails with unable to connect to port 6443. What can I do to further debug and/or fix this?

The OS is Ubuntu 24.04

Hi @shadyproject,

Please provide the step number, the command and the output of the failing command from the terminal.

Regards,

The step is step 20. Running the kubeadm command results in an error. The error in question is that the API server doesn't start up after 4 minutes.

[api-check] The API server is not healthy after 4m0.000596035s

Unfortunately, an error has occurred:
        context deadline exceeded

I cannot post the actual command (even using markdown) because it triggers the "security warning" and doesn't let me complete or save the post.

Looking at the list of running containers, I can see that everything has exited, but the kube-apiserver exited much earlier than the others.
