Deploying MicroStack, I get the error "Timed out while waiting for application 'microk8s' to be ready"

MicroStack

I’m trying to install MicroStack, but it’s stuck on the microk8s deployment, dropping out by the following error:

$ sunbeam cluster bootstrap --role control --role compute --role storage

I see you filed bug LP #2047024 for this. Thank you. If you look over existing bugs you will find other timeout related issues. It is unclear to me at this time whether these are symptoms of the same root cause.

In my case, I think there was a connection issue to the terraform registery, or something like that; As I installed the MicroStack successfully after routing server’s traffic through a proxy.
The problem was occuring during deploying microk8s; It would be meaningful if you add some connectivity checking as a debug report.
