After kubeadm init, county control-plane components look healthy, but Pods stay Pending without network. What admin step is still missing?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The control plane can be up while the neighborhood streets are still unpaved. Install a CNI add-on so Pods get addresses and nodes finish becoming Ready. Skipping networking phases or pointing DNS at the public internet does not replace CNI.
Full Explanation
kubeadm init brings up control-plane components, but cluster networking requires installing a CNI plugin. Until then, nodes may be NotReady for pod networking and workloads can remain Pending. Static Pods for all apps or skipping CNI are not the correct remediation. Choose and apply a supported CNI manifest or Helm release as appropriate.
