Isolated Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) SSL Error

I deployed a helm chart onto an isolated server and in the self-signed certificate HTTPS post it does to the kube-api it is failing w/ this error:

curl: (35) OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to kubernetes.default.svc:443

Anyone seen it before? This is the “POST”:

echo "Creating a secret for the certificate and keys"
 STATUS=$(curl -ik \
            -o ${TMP_DIR}/output \
            -w "%{http_code}" \
            -X POST \
            -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
            -H 'Accept: application/json' \
            -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
            -d '{
            "kind": "Secret",
            "apiVersion": "v1",
            "metadata": {
              "name": "spark-webhook-certs",
              "namespace": "'"$NAMESPACE"'"
            },
            "data": {
              "ca-cert.pem": "'"$ca_cert"'",
              "ca-key.pem": "'"$ca_key"'",
              "server-cert.pem": "'"$server_cert"'",
              "server-key.pem": "'"$server_key"'"
            }
           }' \
           https://kubernetes.default.svc/api/v1/namespaces/${NAMESPACE}/secrets

The error is occuring due to a self signed certificate whose .sh is being invoked by a docker image command here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/spark-on-k8s-operator/blob/master/hack/gencerts.sh

I know it's not getting to the end of this because it's failing to make the secret it's trying to post. Where do y'all think I should look to start troubleshooting? I've posted additional info here including screen shots: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/spark-on-k8s-operator/issues/926

I would try to update the contents of gencerts.sh to get some more context on the error:

  1. Add the -v or --verbose option to the curl command.
  2. Use strace to invoke the curl command

Both of those options will send more outputs to stderr so you should be able to inspect in your log and get a better idea of the failure mode. Fair warning: strace will generate a lot of output.

Another source of information would be the kube-apiserver logs. You'll need to enable collection of master logs by adjusting the configuration of your cluster. You should expect every API request to be logged by kube-apiserver.

The first question here is whether the request is received by the control plane at all. To troubleshoot this, I would get a shell on a container inside the cluster and try to recreate the curl request that gencerts.sh is making. There is some information on accessing the cluster API without kubectl in the kubernetes docs.
