<p>I have tried <code>sudo systemctl stop kubelet</code> and manually kill kubelet process but to no avail. Any advice and insights are appreciated.</p>

Kok How Teh
<p>Have you tried using netstat to see what other process is running that has already bound to that port?</p>

<pre><code>sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 10250
</code></pre>
