I accidentally hit "Enter" instead of "Shift-Enter" and now my "time to edit" has run out. This was my question: Hello. I'm trying to determine how the "providerID" is being set. Briefly, we have deployed the AWS Load Balancer Controller into a RKE2 cluster, and can provision a load balancer, but error (typical): "providerID rke2://ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.<domain> is invalid for EC2 instances, node: ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.<domain>" is reported in the controller pods. I suspected the problem might be related to the IP-based hostname / instance ID limitation discussed here: https://github.com/kubernetes/cloud-provider-aws/blob/master/docs/prerequisites.md so I launched an instance with hostname "ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.<region>.compute.internal", installed the RKE2 agent, and joined it to the cluster. The node name is "correct" (the IP-based hostname), but there was no change in behavior. Error: "providerID rke2://ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.us-gov-west-1.compute.internal is invalid for EC2 instances, node: ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.us-gov-west-1.compute.internal" is reported and the application is unreachable. HTTP status code 503 is reported. I'd like to understand how provider ID is being set, and specifically if "rke2://" is a valid "providerID" (and how to determine what providerIDs are valid). Any guidance would be appreciated.

Can you please provide me your email address? Do you have account for Zendesk?

or can I send to tereccs@ara.com?
