<p dir="auto"><strong>What you expected to happen</strong>:</p>
<p dir="auto">Installation should succeed.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>How to reproduce it</strong> (as minimally and precisely as possible):</p>
<p dir="auto">Use plain Ubuntu 16.04 with latest patches and follow this guide: <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/" rel="nofollow">http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/</a></p>
<p dir="auto">We have performance testing infrastructure ready for use in GCE, all scripts are in <code class="notranslate">test/kubemark</code>, and the rest of the code is spread around <code class="notranslate">cluster</code> directory. Currently there's a performance problem, which causes kubemark to be a lot slower than ordinary cluster. We need to find a root cause for this if we want this tool to be useful.</p>
