Answer:

Question:I performed manual certificate renewal on my k8s master using the kubectl alpha renew all which did update all the certificates.
Post that I did a restart of my kubelet service but looks like my cluster went down. I am able to see my pods using kubectl get pods, but I am not able to schedule any new pods.
I checked on the k8s API server - docker container logs and I see the following issue:

E0118 07:30:45.697275       1 authentication.go:104] Unable to authenticate the request due to an error: [x509: certificate signed by unknown authority, x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of "crypto/rsa: verification error" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate "kubernetes")] (edited) 
  • Slack
    Any suggestions ?

Answer: Check systemd config files. Check individual components to confirm certs have propagated down to other services (scheduler, kubelet, etc)
