failed to create cluster: failed to init node with kubeadm, and KIND_EXPERIMENTAL_PROVIDER=podman about kind HOT 4 CLOSED

Can you fill in more of the "Environment" details from the end of the issue template? That can contain some useful information about your environment to help understand what is going on.

You are also using an older version of kind. So first thing to try would be to upgrade to the latest. Then make sure you are using one of the supported k8s release versions for that release.

Once you upgrade you can run kind create cluster --retain if creation fails. Then kind export logs will get you all of the log output from the creation process where you can track down what is failing. https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/known-issues/#troubleshooting-kind

Hi @stmcginnis, thanks for your advice.
And I have added more information about this error in the issue, could you help find out what the problem is?

Next I will upgrade kind and try again.

you need to use the latest stable version and check the images you are using matches the version as per the release notes

You are also using cgroupsv1 that have several open issues, you should also discard that is the problem

RHEL 7 is #3311 (comment)

I highly recommend using a more recent distro to develop Kubernetes
