Access Denied for kubernetes repository

[dracorp]

I would like to add kubernetes repository for RedHat OS familly: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl-linux/#install-using-native-package-management
but for https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.32/rpm/ I get:

<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
</Error>

How to use that repository?

https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.32/rpm/ is a base URL and it's not accessible by it's own, that's expected. Just follow the instructions from the document that you linked, and if you run into any issue, please post the output of your package manager.

To address this issue please refer to the below wiki article

If above article doesn't help to resolve this issue please use https://bugs.centos.org/.

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/kubernetes.repo
[kubernetes]
name=Kubernetes
baseurl=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.32/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.32/rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.key

As you see I get 403.

@dracorp It could be that your IP address is blocked by our provider. Are you able to access https://pkgs.k8s.io/core:/stable:/v1.32/rpm/repodata/repomd.xml.key? If that also throws 403, that means that our provider is blocking you and there's nothing that we can do about that.

@xmudrii thank you for hint. I will check it.

@xmudrii I misread your message and it came out a little different. I can install kubectl 1.32, but for the latest version 1.32.3 I get 403.
I'm checking with my service desk.
