Answer 1

I was facing the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

The solution provided here worked for me.

Just putting the same data here:

1. Get current cluster name and Zone:

   gcloud container clusters list

2. Configure Kubernetes to use your current cluster:

   gcloud container clusters get-credentials [cluster name] --zone [zone]

Hope it helps.
