Alright Thank You to both George and Tim. One confusing thing about running in cluster mode is that profiles APPEAR to be maintained across the cluster. For instance I created a profile on machine 5 and a lxc profile list shows said created profile on machine 1. However, it would appear that the profile needs to be applied to all of the machines for it to actually work. The second thing that got me was the naming of the profile. In juju you name the environment kubernetes. When it deploys, it uses the profile juju-kubernetes. I was trying to match these names and "outsmart" the instructions.. So that didn't work for me very well :) Per your instructions I named the environment kubernetes via juju and then applied the lxc profile on each machine to juju-kubernetes profile. Juju used said juju-kubernetes named profile to deploy the containers and.... ubuntu@lv-kube-01:~$ lxc list +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | NAME | STATE | IPV4 | IPV6 | TYPE | SNAPSHOTS | LOCATION | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-7f1191-0 | RUNNING | .99 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-01 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-0 | RUNNING | .117 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-04 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-1 | RUNNING | .115 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-05 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-2 | RUNNING | .116 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-03 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-3 | RUNNING | .124 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-02 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-4 | RUNNING | .120 (eth0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-02 | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-5 | RUNNING | 172.17.0.1 (docker0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-02 | | | | .118 (eth0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.79.0 (flannel.1) | | | | | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-6 | RUNNING | 172.17.0.1 (docker0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-05 | | | | .108 (eth0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.61.0 (flannel.1) | | | | | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-7 | RUNNING | 172.17.0.1 (docker0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-04 | | | | .111 (eth0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.46.1 (cni0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.46.0 (flannel.1) | | | | | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-8 | RUNNING | 172.17.0.1 (docker0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-01 | | | | .119 (eth0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.31.1 (cni0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.31.0 (flannel.1) | | | | | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ | juju-cfe9ce-9 | RUNNING | 172.17.0.1 (docker0) | | PERSISTENT | 0 | lv-kube-03 | | | | .113 (eth0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.58.1 (cni0) | | | | | | | | 10.1.58.0 (flannel.1) | | | | | +---------------+---------+-----------------------+------+------------+-----------+------------+ Also Model Controller Cloud/Region Version SLA Timestamp kubernetes lxd-cluster-default lxd-cluster/default 2.6.4 unsupported 22:56:56Z App Version Status Scale Charm Store Rev OS Notes easyrsa 3.0.1 active 1 easyrsa jujucharms 253 ubuntu etcd 3.2.10 active 3 etcd jujucharms 431 ubuntu flannel 0.10.0 active 5 flannel jujucharms 424 ubuntu kubeapi-load-balancer 1.14.0 active 1 kubeapi-load-balancer jujucharms 647 ubuntu exposed kubernetes-master 1.14.3 active 2 kubernetes-master jujucharms 695 ubuntu kubernetes-worker 1.14.3 active 3 kubernetes-worker jujucharms 549 ubuntu exposed Unit Workload Agent Machine Public address Ports Message easyrsa/0* active executing 0 .117 Certificate Authority connected. etcd/0* active idle 1 .115 2379/tcp Healthy with 3 known peers etcd/1 active idle 2 .116 2379/tcp Healthy with 3 known peers etcd/2 active idle 3 .124 2379/tcp Healthy with 3 known peers kubeapi-load-balancer/0* active idle 4 .120 443/tcp Loadbalancer ready. kubernetes-master/0 active idle 5 .118 6443/tcp Kubernetes master running. flannel/4 active idle .118 Flannel subnet 10.1.79.1/24 kubernetes-master/1* active idle 6 .108 6443/tcp Kubernetes master running. flannel/3 active idle .108 Flannel subnet 10.1.61.1/24 kubernetes-worker/0 active idle 7 .111 80/tcp,443/tcp Kubernetes worker running. flannel/1* active idle .111 Flannel subnet 10.1.46.1/24 kubernetes-worker/1* active idle 8 .119 80/tcp,443/tcp Kubernetes worker running. flannel/0 active idle .119 Flannel subnet 10.1.31.1/24 kubernetes-worker/2 active idle 9 .113 80/tcp,443/tcp Kubernetes worker running. flannel/2 active idle .113 Flannel subnet 10.1.58.1/24 Machine State DNS Inst id Series AZ Message 0 started .117 juju-cfe9ce-0 bionic Running 1 started .115 juju-cfe9ce-1 bionic Running 2 started .116 juju-cfe9ce-2 bionic Running 3 started .124 juju-cfe9ce-3 bionic Running 4 started .120 juju-cfe9ce-4 bionic Running 5 started .118 juju-cfe9ce-5 bionic Running 6 started .108 juju-cfe9ce-6 bionic Running 7 started .111 juju-cfe9ce-7 bionic Running 8 started .119 juju-cfe9ce-8 bionic Running 9 started .113 juju-cfe9ce-9 bionic Running Thanks again for your help.
