'The dns-controller Kubernetes deployment has not updated the Kubernetes cluster's - AWS

I'm Trying to have a kubernetes cluster on aws and It's keep on failing while validation. using following command to update the cluster kops update cluster cluster.foo.com --yes and post running this kops validate cluster

Using cluster from kubectl context: cluster.foo.com

Validating cluster cluster.api.com

dns apiserver   Validation Failed

The dns-controller Kubernetes deployment has not updated the Kubernetes cluster's API DNS entry to the correct IP address.  The API DNS IP address is the placeholder address that kops creates: 203.0.113.123.  Please wait about 5-10 minutes for a master to start, dns-controller to launch, and DNS to propagate.  The protokube container and dns-controller deployment logs may contain more diagnostic information.  Etcd and the API DNS entries must be updated for a kops Kubernetes cluster to start.

Validation Failed

Please help in finding the root cause.

1. I tried deleting and recreating multiple time but that did not helped me.
2. Also tried manually placing the master public and private IP to route 53 but it break everything.

As my experience if you have difference in version of kops and kubectl and kubernetes plane version then Kops will never update the Route53 enteries you must need to have the same version for all in my case 

[root@ip-20-0-0-66 kuberneteswithkops]# kops version
Version 1.15.0 (git-9992b4055)
[root@ip-20-0-0-66 kuberneteswithkops]# kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"15", GitVersion:"v1.15.3", GitCommit:"2d3c76f9091b6bec110a5e63777c332469e0cba2", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2019-08-19T11:13:54Z", GoVersion:"go1.12.9", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"linux/amd64"}`

Since EC2 uses elastic IP address for public IP, each time you reboot master node it will receive a new public IP. It happens that KOPS does not pick up the new IP for the Kube API. For example, if your cluster name was kube.mydomain.com, the API DNS would be: api.kube.mydomain.com as you can see from Route53.

You'd see timeout error when you try to reach your cluster:

 $ kops rolling-update cluster
Using cluster from kubectl context: kube.mydomain.com

Unable to reach the kubernetes API.
Use --cloudonly to do a rolling-update without confirming progress with the k8s API


error listing nodes in cluster: Get "https://api.kube.mydomain.com/api/v1/nodes": dial tcp 3.8.157.44:443: i/o timeout
$

To fix this: Each time your EC2 master node receives a new public IP, you must manually update the public IP against DNS of api.kube.mydomain.com in Route53.

Also ensure that the master's private IP is updated against the DNS of api.internal.kube.mydomain.com. Otherwise, the nodes will got to network-unavailable state.

This happened to me when I applied custom instance_policies to my instance groups.

The reason why is Kops controller doesn't have the permission to change it your Route 53 kops-controller.internal. dns entry in your zone.

To fix this, apply this change to your master IAM role.
