MicroServices tier apiserver 'certificate has expired'

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempting to get pod status with 'kubectl get pods' returns an error.  Errors can include:
  • Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate has expired or is not yet valid
  • The connection to the server 10.x.x.x:6443 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
Alternately after reboot kubelet service does not start, as verified with 'systemctl status kubelet.service'.
