I followed the Quickstart docs (here) to deploy a k8s cluster in the Western Europe region. The cluster boots up fine, but I cannot connect to it using kubectl - kubectl times out while trying to perform a TLS handshake:
Unable to connect to the server: net/http: TLS handshake timeout
There is currently a github issue where others are reporting the same problem.
Following some advice on the thread, I attempted to perform an upgrade from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2, which failed:
bash-4.3# az aks upgrade --resource-group=k8s --name=phlo -k 1.8.2
Kubernetes may be unavailable during cluster upgrades.
Are you sure you want to perform this operation? (y/n): y
/ Running ..
Deployment failed. Correlation ID: <redacted>. Operation failed with status: 200. Details: Resource state Failed
According to others on the github thread, it seems to be a region-specific issue.
I was able to get a working AKS setup after ignoring the Azure CLI response on when the k8s cluster was ready, and watching for the "creating..." bar in the AKS overview section of Azure Console to disappear.
There's some good comments here if you are still stuck: https://github.com/Azure/AKS/issues/112
