Not been able to properly Traceroute from within EKS pod

Question

Even though internet connection is working properly, traceroute only shows node IP. Why?

Kubernetes version
1.21

Answer 1

Set -p 443 will result to host not to process the probe along the route. You can try kubectl run busybox --image busybox --restart Never -it --rm -- traceroute -4 -l -v -m 30 google.com. This command will show you the IP along the route; presumed your cluster has no network policy or subnet security group blocking the way.
