<p>It would appear that you are attempting to deploy Kubernetes leveraging <code>kubeadm</code> but have skipped the step of <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/#pod-network" rel="noreferrer">Installing a pod network add-on (CNI)</a>. Notice the warning:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The network must be deployed before any applications. Also, CoreDNS will not start up before a network is installed. kubeadm only supports Container Network Interface (CNI) based networks (and does not support kubenet).</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Once you do this, the CoreDNS pods should come up healthy. This can be verified with:
<code>kubectl -n kube-system -l=k8s-app=kube-dns get pods</code></p>

<p>Then the <code>kubernetes-dashboard</code> pod should come up healthy as well.</p>
