<p>We are creating a POC with CLIPPER. The deployment works fine with Docker in local environment, but we need to use kubernetes for the POC. We tried to deploy it in two ways:</p>

<ol>
<li>Minikube deployment</li>
<li>GKE k8 cluster deployment</li>
</ol>

<p>In both above cases: the <code>mgmt-frontend</code>, <code>redis</code>, and <code>query-frontend</code> images were all deployed successfully on the cluster:</p>

<p>We are getting an error when we are trying to start clipper:</p>

<pre><code>Error connecting to Kubernetes cluster. No external node addresses found

    115             raise e
    116 

AttributeError: 'ClipperException' object has no attribute 'msg'
</code></pre>

<p>We tried different options but it didn't help. Can anyone please help us on this?</p>

<p>I did refresh on the gcloud creds after updating the cli to the latest version </p>
