Hi everyone, so I’m trying to create a kubernetes cluster that can allow be add servers from different provider(aws, azure, DO) as worker nodes, has anyone tried creating a kubernetes cluster using a custom provider and then tried to add an AWS EC2 node as a worker node using the “sudo docker …” command? I tried it but it’s not working, Digital ocean was added successfully and works but not AWS EC2

that is probably not going to work. not if you’re using a cloud provider at least. Even if you can get the nodes to register, you can generally only have one cloud provider per cluster, and it won’t know how to find the nodes added from the other foreign providers so they won’t get set up properly.

I was thinking this can be done and all nodes can find themselves over public IP when internet access is enabled on them

the cloud provider still needs to be able to find instance metadata. If you use the AWS cloud provider for example, and try to add an Azure node, it will not be able to find the Azure node by ID and it will remain uninitialized in the cluster.

Yes azure didn’t work also, can that be why a lot of rancher agent was created on the aws ec2 node, last count was over 20
