<p>I'm just trying to run a simple batch job and getting this error &quot;MountVolume.SetUp failed for volume &quot;kube-api-access-cvwdt&quot; : object &quot;default&quot;/&quot;kube-root-ca.crt&quot; not registered&quot;</p>
<p>Here's my logs when running describe pod on that pod</p>

<p>My job.yaml file to create the pod</p>

<p>Just in case it makes a difference, I'm trying to run this on EKS</p>

<p>You might be facing a bug on the kubelet that is discussed <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/105204" rel="noreferrer">here</a> and was fixed in K8s 1.23.6.</p>
<p>Failure should be sporadic, so a simple recreation of your Pod might already fix it. More reliably, you could upgrade K8s or disable <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/#use-the-default-service-account-to-access-the-api-server" rel="noreferrer">automountServiceAccountToken</a>. This stops the CA in question from being mounted into your Pod. Since the CA is only required, if your Pod needs to talk to the Kube API server, this is a sensible security measure anyway.</p>
