ansible k8s module failing to connect to cluster with 503 - appends /version/openshift to non openshift cluster - kubernetes

Question

I'm trying to use ansible new k8s module (based ok k8_raw from 2.6) to maintain an aks k8 cluster.
While I can work with the cluster with kubectl , any command with the k8s cluster fails with a 503 error.
For example this task:
- name: deploy kured daemonset
k8s:
state: present
context: "{{ cluster_name}}"
host: "redacted"# tried specifying this, but does not help
kubeconfig: "~/.kube/config"
src: "aks/utils/kured-ds.yaml"
And failure:

Reason: Service Unavailable

What am I missing?
UPDATE:
When I've added print statement to the libs used by the module beneath I found out somewhere in the pipeline /version/openshift is appended to the host name, which of course fails, because it's a non openshift cluster
Any work around for this bug?

Answer 1

Answer: turned out there were two failing requests. the first is to version/openshift is catched by the client and doesn't cause the crash. the crash actually happened because of an error with my cluster metrics server, which while not really needed by the k8 client used by ansible still fails a request to it.
So if anyone bumps into it, might be helpful
