Description

Hello, I built the EC2 Pipeline with Al2023 Cloud Formation Template in this repo.

When I run the Pipeline, I get the error below within cloud watch:

2025-06-13T03:23:32.647Z
Step InstallWorker
2025-06-1303: 23:32.652Z
ExecuteBash: STARTED EXECUTION
2025-06-1303: 23:32.663Z
Stout: Packer variable 'KUBERNETES_BUILD_DATE was not set. Aborting
Stdout: Packer variable 'KUBERNETES_BUILD_DATE ' was not set. Aborting

Research direction

Start by inspecting the EC2 Pipeline and AL2023 CloudFormation template, then trace the InstallWorker step where the Packer error occurs. Determine where KUBERNETES_BUILD_DATE is expected to be set, rerun the pipeline, and confirm the missing-variable error no longer appears in CloudWatch.
