To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use ‘kubectl cluster-info dump’.

This generally means that there is a problem with your credentials, probably missing or outdated.

Use the versbos flag to find the issue:

kubectl cluster-info --v=8

This should tell you what’s wrong in your case.

If you can’t find it, please paste the verbose output for further examination.

Your output should look like mine:
