Hi! yesterday I set up a kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean and today I ran the following steps:
$doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save fyx-cluster
(OK)
$kubectl config current-context
(prints cluster name)
$kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp <IP address>:443: i/o timeout
I run the last command repeatedly, same error.
Now, 10 minutes later, the same command succeeds:
$kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
serviceaccount/gitlab-admin created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/gitlab-admin created
Is there a way I can avoid these timeouts in the future?

Hello, I have the same issue and its happen sporadically. Actually i have 4 kubernetes cluster and I found that the issue are appearing only to one. The only differences is that its the development version and we have a lot of kubernete’s jobs but from the digital ocean reports looks ok. The current status is that is down ( kubernetes access url: https://6474d159-xxxxxxxx-42e8-xxxxxx-6xxxxxxx1cd6e24.k8s.ondigitalocean.com
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp 165.xxx.xxx.133:443: i/o timeout
Running the same command a few minutes later, results again in the same error:
$kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp <IP address>:443: i/o timeout
These errors seem to happen sporadically and I’d like to learn how to fix the root cause. My personal internet connection is fine.
