title: Connection refused with kubectl on EC2 ubuntu instance?
body: <p>I installed docker-go-kubernetes on an ubuntu EC2 AWS instance using this guide: <a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/aws/" rel="nofollow">http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/aws/</a></p>
  
  <p>I have kubectl installed but when I run a test:
  <code>
  kubectl run my-nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80
  </code></p>
  
  <p>I receive and error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you
    specify the right host or port?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I specify the host or port?</p>
