Installation of Azure Arc agents on the Kubernetes cluster fail with an error: client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded

Question

Hi,

I have been trying to Arc-enable Kubernetes Cluster to set up locally on my system (Ubuntu) using Azure CLI.

I am referring to the instructions from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/iot-operations/get-started-end-to-end-sample/quickstart-deploy

az connectedk8s connect isn't successful and I see

Step: 2024-08-08T08-03-45Z: Checking Microsoft.ExtendedLocation RP Registration state for this Subscription, and get OID, if registered

Step: 2024-08-08T08-03-46Z: Starting to install Azure arc agents on the Kubernetes cluster.

Please check if the azure-arc namespace was deployed and run 'kubectl get pods -n azure-arc' to check if all the pods are in running state. A possible cause for pods stuck in pending state could be insufficient resources on the kubernetes cluster to onboard to arc.

Unable to install helm release: Error: client rate limiter Wait returned an error: context deadline exceeded

All the Pods states are set to running.

However, connect or enable-features fail with an Error - context deadline exceeded

Could anyone tell me what is the issue here?

Thanks

Hello @Bindu

Azure CLI is timing out while trying to install the Azure Arc agents on your Kubernetes cluster. This could sometimes also be due to a slow internet connection or insufficient resources on your Kubernetes cluster. Please review following suggestions

Ensure that you have the latest version of Helm installed on your machine. You can check the version by running the command helm version

You can also try running the kubectl get events command to check if there are any events related to the Azure Arc agents installation that might provide more information about the issue.
