Hi @tnkumar, thanks for filing this issue! To help you troubleshoot, have you checked to make sure that you have the correct privileges for your AWS credentials?

[tnkumar]

Yes @mfburnett . I am the root administrator for the AWS account. Any other suggestions?

Hi @tnkumar can you provide us more information to help troubleshoot?

1. I see 401 errors in your console log. Any idea why those would be appearing with your credentials? Perhaps they expired?
2. What region and instance types did you choose?
3. Can you share the output from AWS CloudFormation (the link is at the top of the installer screenshot you shared)?
4. If you are able to SSH to the nodes in the cluster, what do you see for the kubelet statuses?
   systemctl status kubelet
journalctl -u kubelet

I had the same problem with the aws region eu-west-2. It seems that the regions are hard coded in kubernetes and london will be added with version 1.5.

I ran into this problem, see #19

You should be able to just scp the assets zip, explode it and run bootkube start. It appears to be waiting for the apiserver to start, but that's done by bootkube.

It is not actually waiting for the Kubernetes control plane, it waits for the Kubelet to be running, as resolved behind the ELB. The messaging was wrong. You can connect to your EC2 instances and verify the kubelet service is running. If that's ok, check the ELB or local network restrictions. Skipping over the validation can mask other issues.

Hi ... I am trying to install tectonic on bare metal, however I don't know how and where to run the matchboxes and get the informations for the "matchbox address" panel. Thanks

@Nourid5 this issue is about AWS. Please open a separate issue.

Hi @tnkumar, @naphthalene, and @webner - we recently released Tectonic v1.5.4-tectonic.1, which makes a bunch of improvements over Tectonic 1.4.5, including removing the scp step and adding HA by default for AWS (and bare metal). You can give it a try here to see if this resolves some of the issues you were having: https://coreos.com/tectonic/releases/

Going to close this issue due to inactivity. We recently released Tectonic v1.6.2-tectonic.1 with a ton of improvements - would recommend you all check it out! Feel free to open back up this issue with any comments or additional questions.
