Kops: Confusion with the AWS Route53 readme

[yetanotherchris]

Hi,

I'm having a few problems trying to get started with Kops, using a domain I bought via AWS. I have no hosted zones setup, I followed the instructions from here.

There's some confusion on my part with what a subdomain is. This is what I tried:

• All the preliminaries: S3 bucket, CLI tools, AWS configure, IAM user/group/role
• Create new hosted zone: example.com
• Copy the NS servers from AWS domains into its NS records. e.g.:

ns-592.awsdns-10.net
ns-1694.awsdns-19.co.uk
ns-1235.awsdns-26.org
ns-454.awsdns-56.com

• Run kops create cluster --name=test.example.com --cloud=aws --zones=eu-west-1a --state=s3://mybucket

I get the error returned:

error doing DNS lookup for NS records for "example.com": lookup example.com on [fec0:0:0:ffff::2]:53: dial udp [fec0:0:0:ffff::2]:53: connect: invalid argument

I've tried variations the guide suggests: creating a subdomain NS record and copying the domain NS records there, and creating a hosted zone for subdomain.example.com

This is Bash on Ubuntu for Windows - could this be the problem?

kops create cluster --name=test.example.com --cloud=aws --zones=eu-west-1a --state=s3://mybucket

test.example.com needs to be your domain We need to be more clear that example.com is your domain. We probably want to use a env variable through the examples and explain to set the environment variable to your cluster name with a domain.

Embarassingly, this was from setting the nameservers incorrectly in the zone. Once I'd done this everything was fine.

Some feedback on the docs - it would help if there was a pre-requisites section before running any kops commands.

I also switched to Gossip and everything worked flawlessly.

I have same issue Doing DNS lookup to verify NS records for "k8s-tf.**-poc.com" . no such host
Can you please explain the NS record changes you did to make this host visible ???
