I was in the process of creating a k8 cluster with kops on aws, and I ran into an interesting exception:

error running task "DNSZone/foobar" (1m42s remaining to succeed): error creating DNS HostedZone "": InvalidParameter: 1 validation error(s) found.
- missing required field, CreateHostedZoneInput.Name.

I created a hosted zone on Route 53 and set the zone type to private.

I also modified the following VPC settings to "true":

• enableDnsHostnames
• enableDnsSupport

used software:

kops - Version 1.6.1 (git-22b22cc)

kubectl - Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"8"...}

I deleted the cluster and created it again, but the same exception persisted. So there must be something I did wrong.

Any advice would be helpful.

tnx, Tom
