Environment

• Kubernetes Version:

➜  ~ kubectl version --short
Client Version: v1.10.3
Server Version: v1.10.3

• Cluster Environment: (GKE, AKS, kops, …) Docker for mac edge

• Host OS: Mac OS X - High Sierra 10.13.4

• Linkerd version:

➜  ~ linkerd version
Client version: stable-2.0.0
Server version: stable-2.0.0

Possible solution

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Additional context

Looks like Linkerd is having trouble accessing the Kubernetes HTTP API and accessing Prometheus either because Prometheus pods aren’t set up right or the DNS entry is messed - most likely the former

I have tried with a fresh install of docker edge and I get the same thing each time
