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
Contributor guide
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.
