In my case for example the VM on aws hosting the kubernetes-worker node had external IP in the 54.174.73.1/24 subnet and it also had an internal IP in the 172.31.60.1/24 subnet. Using a client machine outside aws to bootstrap federation: I got the kubefed client stuck on doing a health check against the clouds internal subnet https://172.31.60.XXX:/healthz . To address this I can use the flag and pass the external IP of any kubernetes-worker node.

With this flag kubeconfig file gets updated with the right endpoint for the federation-apiserver. However, apart from the I should also be able to specify the desired port the service will be listening on. I have to make sure that port is opened on the aws routing/firewall prior to issuing . In the example above, kubefed init will try to reach https://54.174.73.XXX:/healthz, port is randomly assigned and is not reachable. I should be able to first open the port on aws and then do a with and port pinned to .

is there a reason why you are not using the default load balanced service on AWS?
I am using Juju to stay cloud agnostic. AWS just happened to be where I deployed this time. Juju just grabs machines (virtual or physical) from wherever you have resources from. In effect your cluster is more like an on-prem than anything else. How would the default load balanced service work?
got it.
