Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • After scaling up a master-node, etcd cannot start with the error:

    transport: authentication handshake failed: remote error: tls: bad certificate"; please retry.
    
  • After restarting etcd daemons in a cluster, a warning with previous message appears once, but etcd works and all members are healthy.
