Hello @raghanag 👋🏽

From the error message you are getting, it seems the issue is with your minikube.

Are you able to just run minikube without deploying the OTel demo and get nodes?

kubectl get nodes

Is all up and running?

If yes, could you share the results of:

kubectl get pods -A

Ok, so cluster is running! Great!😊

And when you deploy the Demo the k8s API dies????

[raghanag]

Exactly, after deploying the demo, the k8s API dies :(
