My airflow service runs as a kubernetes deployment, and has two containers, one for the webserver and one for the scheduler. I'm running a task using a KubernetesPodOperator, with in_cluster=True parameters, and it runs well, I can even kubectl logs pod-name and all the logs show up.

However, the airflow-webserver is unable to fetch the logs:

*** Log file does not exist: /tmp/logs/dag_name/task_name/2020-05-19T23:17:33.455051+00:00/1.log
*** Fetching from: http://pod-name-7dffbdf877-6mhrn:8793/log/dag_name/task_name/2020-05-19T23:17:33.455051+00:00/1.log
*** Failed to fetch log file from worker. HTTPConnectionPool(host='pod-name-7dffbdf877-6mhrn', port=8793): Max retries exceeded with url: /log/dag_name/task_name/2020-05-19T23:17:33.455051+00:00/1.log (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fef6e00df10>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))

It seems as the pod is unable to connect to the airflow logging service, on port 8793. If I kubectl exec bash into the container, I can curl localhost on port 8080, but not on 80 and 8793.

Kubernetes deployment:

note: If airflow is run in dev environment (locally instead of kubernetes) it all works perfectly.
