Kubelet TLS Handshake Failures After Certificate Rotation

[roman5595]

What happened?
We are deploying to several kops clusters via pipelines, since kops 1.23, some pipelines would fail with error below, so we implemented temporary retry mechanism that would retry request, currently we are at kops 1.29 and this issue still persists, this is not causing any outage, but I would like to remove our temporary solution and remove this issue below (I also checked PRs for 1.23 but i didnt find anything that might be related or could cause this issue, also, on kops 1.22 we never encountered this error ) :

/usr/bin/helm Error: unable to get pod logs for <APPLICATION>: Get "https://<WORKER NODE>:10250/containerLogs/default/<APPLICATION>/test-service": write tcp <CONTROL-PLANE NODE>:44194-><WORKER NODE>:10250: use of closed network connection

at the exact same time logs from api-server :
│ kube-apiserver I0920 16:30:39.542320 11 cert_rotation.go:88] certificate rotation detected, shutting down client connections to start using new credentials │ kube-apiserver E0920 16:30:39.543643 11 status.go:71] apiserver received an error that is not an metav1.Status: &url.Error{Op:"Get", URL:"https://<WORKER NODE >:10250/containerLogs/default/application/filebeat?sinceSecon │ │ ds=300", Err:(*net.OpError)(0xc071c91090)}: Get "https://<WORKER NODE >:10250/containerLogs/default/application/filebeat?sinceSeconds=300": write tcp <CONTROL-PLANE NODE>:44194-><WORKER NODE>:10250: use of closed network connection

Everytime this error hapens, there is same log in kubelet :

kubelet[5111]: I0920 16:30:39.542666 5111 log.go:245] http: TLS handshake error from <CONTROL-PLANE NODE>:44194: EOF

I checked validity of certificates, they are all valid,

apiserver logs :

Is this normal behaviour ? Cert rotation cca every 10 minutes ?

What cloud provider are you using?
AWS

What did you expect to happen?

I expected, that once certs are rotated, this will not cause any intermittent network issues.

Is there chance that this issue might be related to : golang/go#50984 ?
