At step 15 on section 3.2 (grow the cluster), when i run the command I am getting this output:

If anyone could offer some insight, i've tried a few things found googling but nothing has helped at the moment. Happy to provide any other commands needed

    Looks like you have a missed few pre-requisite steps. Execute the below steps and re-try to grow the cluster.

    Ensure Kernel has modules

    sudo modprobe overlay
    sudo modprobe br_netfilter

    Update networking to allow traffic

    cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/kubernetes.conf
    net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1
    net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
    net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
    EOF

    sudo sysctl --system

    Note: If you get port in use errors, reset and then retry. To reset run the command "kubeadm reset" on worker node.

    This happens in GCP when you just add a key to authorized_keys rather adding your user via IAM. Or you may use "SSH" next to the compute engine.

    Hi @xtrnror,

    Whether the user is added via IAM admin or simply through the auth key has no impact on the cluster init or join. This is the case for GCP, AWS, and other cloud providers. The error was pointing at missing configuration options that may have been missed from earlier steps.

    Regards,
