Verification

After installing the CCM, follow these steps to verify it's working correctly.

Check CCM Pod Status

1. Verify the CCM pods are running:

kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app=ccm-linode

Expected output:

NAME                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
ccm-linode-xxxxx    1/1     Running   0          2m

2. Check CCM logs:

kubectl logs -n kube-system -l app=ccm-linode

Look for successful initialization messages and no errors.

Verify Node Configuration

1. Check node annotations:

kubectl get nodes -o yaml

Look for:

• Proper region labels
• Node addresses
• Provider ID

Test LoadBalancer Service

1. Create a test service:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: test-lb
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  ports:
    - port: 80
  selector:
    app: test

2. Verify NodeBalancer creation:

kubectl get svc test-lb

The service should receive an external IP address.

Common Issues

• Pods in CrashLoopBackOff: Check logs for API token or permissions issues
• Service stuck in 'Pending': Verify API token has NodeBalancer permissions
• Missing node annotations: Check CCM logs for node controller issues
