Cannot connect to Kubernetes api on AWS vm's

6/20/2018

I have deployed Kubernetes using the link Kubernetes official page

I see that Kubernetes is deployed because in the end i got this

Your Kubernetes master has initialized successfully!

To start using your cluster, you need to run the following as a regular user:

  mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
  sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
  sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

You should now deploy a pod network to the cluster.
Run "kubectl apply -f [podnetwork].yaml" with one of the options listed at:
  https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/addons/

You can now join any number of machines by running the following on each node
as root:

  kubeadm join 172.16.32.101:6443 --token ma1d4q.qemewtyhkjhe1u9f --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:408b1fdf7a5ea5f282741db91ebc5aa2823802056ea9da843b8ff52b1daff240

when i do kubectl get pods it thorws this error

# kubectl get pods 
The connection to the server 127.0.0.1:6553 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

When I do see the cluster-info it says as follows

kubectl cluster-info 
Kubernetes master is running at https://127.0.0.1:6553

But when i see the config it shows as follows

apiVersion: v1

Even telnet shows that there is a process running on 6443 but not on 6553 how can change the port and how can I fix the issue??

Any help would be of great use

Thanks in advance.

It looks like your last kubectl config interferes with the previous clusters configurations.

It is possible to have settings for several different clusters in one .kube/config or in separate files.
But in some cases, you may want to manage only the cluster you've just created.

Note: After tearing down the exited cluster using kubeadm reset followed by initializing fresh cluster using kubeadm init, new certificates will be generated. To operate the new cluster, you have to update kubectl configuration or replace it with the new one.

To clean up old kubectl configurations and apply the last one, run the following commands:

rm -rf $HOME/.kube
unset KUBECONFIG

# Check if you have KUBECONFIG configured in profile dot files and comment or remove it.

mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

It gives you up-to-date configuration for the last cluster you've created using kubeadm tool.

Note: You should copy kubectl configuration for all users accounts which you are going to use to manage the cluster.

Here are some examples of how to manage config file using the command line.

I figured out the issue it is because of the firewall in the machine I could join nodes to the cluster once I allowed traffic via port 6443. I didn't fix the issue with this post but for beginners use this K8's on AWS for a better idea.

Thanks for the help guys...!!!
