Hi,

I am currently trying to start with Elastic Cloud for Kubernetes course but in Strigo lab, k3s services is restarting over and over every 10s.

It is not possible to continue with the course due the service is not working and none of the k3s commands are available.

Hello @martj

Welcome to the community.

Please send an email from the registered email id for accessing the lab to [training@elastic.co](mailto:training@elastic.co) and maybe they can help you with the lab.

Thanks!!

Okay, as the issue did not seem technical and your lab environment was getting disconnected every 10 seconds so I asked to check with the training team. Maybe you can try to restart your host once.

Thanks!!

Hi Tortoise,

Thanks a lot, I have tried multiple times to restart the instance but the issue persists. I honestly think that there is something wrong with the lab because I do not loose connectivity towards the lab at any point, is the kubernetes service just restarting every 10-12s.

Thanks
