Cloud being used: aws
Installation method: kubeadm
Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04

Hi All,
I’m having problems running kubelet with --cloud-provider==“aws”. I’ve done all the things required, such as:

  1. passing extraArgs in kubeadm init config
  2. giving tags to all AWS resources and assigning roles with policies to instances.

Still kubelet is giving me the following error:
Dec 16 10:47:04 ip-172-31-2-73 kubelet[23467]: E1216 10:47:04.798125 23467 kubelet.go:2248] node “ip-172-31-2-73.us-east-2.compute.internal” not found

Basically, node not found is the main error. I don’t know why it’s not able to find the node.
Please help.
