What works on one corporate computer doesn't work on another.

Maybe corporate network proxy or CA cert? Domain whitelisting? How do you debug this?

az login
az account set --subscription <subscription>
az aks get-credentials --resource-group <group name> --name <aks name>
kubectl get nodes

When I wanted to open an Azure support ticket, it alerted that there were failures because of using an old kubectl CLI.

I had a similar issue and found that the version of "Docker for Mac" I was using was overriding the kubectl installation I had done via `homebrew.

❯ which kubectl
/usr/local/bin/kubectl
❯ ls -l /usr/local/bin/kubectl
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  staff  55 16 Sep  2019 /usr/local/bin/kubectl -> /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/kubectl

And when I checked the version of the client, sure enough:

kubectl version --client
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"14" //snip

This seems to have been resolved quite some time ago, but may save some time for someone in the future

The solutions seem to be:

  1. Upgrade docker for mac (if this is your problem)
  2. Delete the link to the docker for mac provided kubectl and set to a current version
