Answer 1

There are 3 things you should check

1. Check if your cluster has been configured as a Private Cluster. If so, you'll need to be on the same network.
2. Check to see if your cluster has been configured with IP Whitelisting. If so, you'll need to ensure your source IP is in the list
3. Ensure the cluster is healthy by looking at the service in the Azure Portal. Explore the troubleshooting options inside the service blades in the portal to pinpoint.

Here are some possible solutions that might help:

• Ensure that the Kubernetes cluster is accessible to Azure DevOps at the time-of-service connection configuration.
• Check if the service account secret is listed and follow the steps mentioned in this Stack Overflow post to fix it.
• If you’re using a pre-created Kubernetes configuration stored locally, make sure that it’s accessible to Azure DevOps at the time-of-service connection configuration.
• If you’re using the ‘kubeconfig’ option, install kubectl and kubelogin on your self-hosted build agent and use shell scripts to create a service connection.
• Create a service account in your AKS with a secret and use it to create a service connection
