### Cluster information:

Kubernetes version: 1.25.3  
Cloud being used: bare-metal  
Installation method: kind and kubectl  
Host OS: Ubuntu

I can list all the pods using kubectl command.

```auto
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
details-68798648c5-dhflm 1/1 Running 0 66m
frontend-7f68d468fb-l62d9 1/1 Running 0 66m
pinger-v1-759477f7c6-glgfd 1/1 Running 0 66m
pinger-v2-86c588f594-g5pdw 1/1 Running 0 66m

```

however when i try to port forward using kubectl or even log these pods, i get that the i/o timeout error.

```auto
kubectl logs details-68798648c5-dhflm
Error from server: Get "https://172.18.0.2:10250/containerLogs/default/details-68798648c5-dhflm/details": dial tcp 172.18.0.2:10250: i/o timeout

```

I can’t figure out where the problem is and how to resolve it.
