AWS Troubleshooting
Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) Shows No Active Instances
In AWS, under Load Balancing > Load Balancers, there is an ELB which shows no active instances in service.
Worker ELB
A worker ELB is automatically provisioned as part of the PMK cluster deployment.

Application ELB
A Service exposed as type LoadBalancer has a provisioned ELB address recoded as the EXTERNAL-IP , but, the service is not reachable on the exposed port.

Afterward, you should see 1 or more instances in service (depending on the # of nodes in the cluster).

NodePort Service Isn't Externally Reachable
A Service type of NodePort isn't reachable via the Service FQDN for the cluster, nor the associated worker ELB address.
