Status Checks on the Worker Loadbalancer Show as Nodes Down in AWS

Problem

Kubernetes Nodes in an AWS cluster show as OutOfService if viewed from the Load Balancer Perspective.

Environment

• Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions
• AWS Cloud Provider

Answer

This behavior is expected. The Load Balancer runs the health check on port 443 on which nothing is running. Because of this, the Load Balancer thinks the nodes are out of service.
