Every system should have:

• CentOS 7 minimal installed
• firewalld stopped

systemctl stop firewalld; systemctl disable firewalld

ETCD_LISTEN_CLIENT_URLS="http://0.0.0.0:2379"

3. Configure Kubernetes API server.

Make sure /etc/kubernetes/apiserver contains this:

4. Start master node services:

for S in etcd kube-apiserver kube-controller-manager kube-scheduler; do 
   systemctl restart $S
   systemctl enable $S

done
