I'm just getting started with Kubernetes, starting with this tutorial for AWS EKS. I've followed through nearly to the bottom of the page and everything to work as described until this command.

kubectl get nodes --watch

It never returned any response. Hours after having successfully run kubectl apply, there are still no node resources.

PS C:\repos\eks-tutorial> kubectl apply -f infrastructure/cloudformation-templates/aws-auth-cm.yaml
configmap/aws-auth created

PS C:\repos\eks-tutorial> kubectl get nodes --all-namespaces
No resources found.

I remembered to edit the data.mapRoles.rolearn value in the YAML file and my stacks seem to be ready to use.

What am I missing?
