Cluster-api-provider-aws: Failed to Create clusterctl inventory CRDs component

[kferrone]

/kind bug

What steps did you take and what happened:

Followed the Quickstart in the docs line by line exactly and I got this error when running:
clusterctl init --infrastructure aws

Error: action failed after 10 attempts: failed to create clusterctl inventory CRDs component: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1, Kind=CustomResourceDefinition, /providers.clusterctl.cluster.x-k8s.io: n
o matches for kind "CustomResourceDefinition" in version "apiextensions.k8s.io/v1

However the following did work out:
clusterawsadm alpha bootstrap create-stack

I have no idea how to debug this? Not much errors or logs to work with . . .

What did you expect to happen:

I expected to see the output the Quickstart said I would see.

Anything else you would like to add:

I am using an EKS instance which only has a few things installed. Pretty new from a few days ago.

@kferrone The management cluster must be at least Kubernetes v1.16.

@vincepri We should probably make this more clear in the QuickStart

@fabriziopandini we should also probably add a validation step in clusterctl for this as well.

Oh, bummer. This means this project will not work for EKS as 1.15 is the highest version offered as far as I know.

[kferrone]

Looks like lot's of peeps are waiting for EKS to support v1.16

[fabriziopandini]

the validation step in clusterctl just merged
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/pull/2842

[detiber]

Now that kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api#2842, closing since v1.16 is a requirement for the management cluster.
/close
