How to retrieve ipv4 of a running kubernetes cluster using DigitalOcean API?

I manually created a Kubernetes cluster using DO. Once it is provisioned, I requested the retrieve cluster API to get the “ipv4” of the cluster.

GET REQUEST ENDPOINT- ‘https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/kubernetes/clusters/2dc1377e-b7cd-4748-a3ab-1172ea5e6529

response:

{"kubernetes_cluster":{"id":"2dc1377e-b7cd-4748-a3ab-1172ea5e6529","name":"echo-cluster","region":"blr1","version":"1.25.4-do.0","cluster_subnet":"10.244.0.0/16","service_subnet":"10.245.0.0/16","vpc_uuid":"b8998521-1fe4-490c-9ca5-fefb8064bc08", 

"ipv4":"",

As you can see in the response, i am not able to get the ipv4, how i will assign domain record to IP?

Hi there,

The API request that you have looks correct, however keep in mind the public IPv4 address of the Kubernetes master node will not be set if high availability is configured on the cluster. Can you confirm if this is the case for your cluster?

Best,

Bobby
