Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to initialize Kubernetes Cluster using the kubeadm init command, but it is showing me the below error.

error: failed to run Kubelet: failed to create kubelet:
misconfiguration: kubelet cgroup driver: "systemd" is different from docker cgroup driver: "cgroupfs"

Answer 1

Hi@akhtar,

There are two common ways to fix the cgroup driver problem. You can follow the below steps.

1. Install Docker again following instructions here.

2. Change the kubelet config to match the Docker cgroup driver manually, you can refer to Configure cgroup driver used by kubelet on Master Node

I hope this will help.
