Discussion:
During a manual upgrade test, described in , a kubelet failed to communicate via SSL to its master. This is currently blocking the 1.4 release. There is not a repro for this yet. The cluster was running 1.3, and was upgraded to 1.4 successfully, but upon downgrading to 1.3, the kubelets one one or more machines are not able to talk to the master. Current kubelet version is . (EDITED) The error when talking to the master is (lots like this): I think this means that the kubelet cannot verify the master's cert. I can't find the master's cert. Since there is not flag to kubelet to tell it where to find its config, I assume it is using the default location, which is . It seems wrong that clusters[0].cluster.certificate-authority-data is empty. That should have the cert for the master, right? I see this thing: but I don't understand what process generates , and if, presumably, from that template, why it isn't setting the env var CA_CERT.
in case this is related to kubelet bootstrap changes in 1.4.
Currently node is :
Correction. The node is running 1.4.0-beta.5
If the kubelet hasn't set the then it will not go through the bootstrap code path. Is the kubeconfig provided through the bootstrap flag or the kubeconfig flag?
Not set. For reference, args are:
Question: Could you please tell me why your nodes are running with GCI image at the first place? The test is starting with 1.3 release, which is using old debian-based containervm image, and I thought doesn't change the image at all (separate topic).
It does change to gci on gce with the default upgrade scripts, i brought this up on an email thread. I'm guessing something was dropped when we translated salt grains (containervm) to gci env vars.
What the default upgrade scripts you were referring to? I just double-checked with test cluster which was upgrade to 1.4 through , the node is stay with debian-based containervm, but Kubernetes version is bumped up to 1.4-beta.X
Ok, I am assigning this to to confirm.

If upgrade logic from 1.3 to 1.4 changes the underneath os, that is wrong. I strongly believe this is just a simple operational error.
My understanding is that ignores base images altogether. , Dawn Chen wrote:

I've tried and the node image did get updated to GCI. Before upgrade to v1.4: After upgrade to v1.4: After downgrade to v1.3: /cc
helped me debug this. He found that the metadata for the instance did not include the CA_CERT in it. That seems wrong.
Renamed from "x509 failure for kubelet after upgrade test"
Yeah, that's the error you'd get if the proper ca isn't loaded.
Will we get this problem if we don't upgrade to GCI (i.e. we stay with CVM) in -N? I guess we can try it and find out.
Manual upgrades have been successful if we don't switch image types. , David Oppenheimer < :
re: If you don't change the underneath image during the upgrade, the issue shouldn't occur.
