I had this problem using a local docker   The thing to do is check the logs of the containers its spins up to figure out what went wrong   For me it transpired that etcd had fallen over       docker logs  lt etcdContainerId gt      lt snip gt     2016-06-15 09 02 32 868569 C   etcdmain  listen tcp 127 0 0 1 7001  bind  address already in use   Aha   I d been playing with Cassandra in a docker container and I d forwarded all the ports since I wasn t sure which it needed exposed and 7001 is one of its ports   Stopping Cassandra  cleaning up the mess and restarting it fixed things

If you created a cluster on AWS using kops  then kops creates    kube config for you  which is nice   But if someone else needs to connect to that cluster  then they also need to install kops so that it can create the kubeconfig for you   export AWS ACCESS KEY ID   aws configure get aws access key id  export AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY   aws configure get aws secret access key  export CLUSTER ALIAS kubernetes-cluster  kubectl config set-context   CLUSTER ALIAS        --cluster   CLUSTER FULL NAME        --user   CLUSTER FULL NAME   kubectl config use-context   CLUSTER ALIAS   kops export cluster --name   CLUSTER FULL NAME      --region   CLUSTER REGION      --state   KOPS STATE STORE
