A common crash is caused if it can’t reach the API server. I don’t know the IP of the API server on your setup, but my guess is that it times out trying to connect.

Is that the IP of the API server? Can you see some logs to see why it times out?

Does this started to happen after some network configuration change? Can you snif traffic to see where it is lost?

Investigate the value at /etc/resolv.conf and more logs needed to arrive to decision.

You can also delete loops [kubectl edit cm coredns -n kube-system] and save it, but be careful, only do that if the logs are pointing to it.

Hi,
Can you share the steps if anything worked for this
