<p>I am trying to setup airflow with Kubernetes executor and on scheduler container startup it hangs for a while and then I get https timeout error as follows. The ip address in message is correct and inside container I can run <code>curl kubernetes:443</code> or <code>curl 10.96.0.1:443</code> or <code>nc -zv 10.96.0.1 443</code> so I assume there is no firewall or so blocking access.</p>

<p>I am using local kubernetes as well as aws EKS but same error, I can see that ip changes in different clusters.</p>

<p>I have looked at google to find a solution but did not see similar cases.</p>

<p>There is an option to set the value via the ENV variable. In your charts/airflow.yaml file, you can set the variable as follows and that should solve your problem,</p>

<pre><code>AIRFLOW__KUBERNETES__KUBE_CLIENT_REQUEST_ARGS: {"_request_timeout" : [50, 50]}
