Consul HCS Helm Deployment - Pod error

I was working on deploying the HCS service on Azure previously and was successful. The next step was to add my AKS cluster to the HashiCorp Consul Service I provisioned and to that I followed this video on youtube. I was able to follow all the steps until the one where he adds the Bootstrap Token to the ACL, I have no option to add tokens, I can only create them.

Another issue I ran into was the pods not being in ready state:

When I described the pod, I got a readiness probe failed error.

When I looked into the logs I got the following for all 3 consul pods:

My helm deployment command was as follows:

helm install consul hashicorp/consul -f config.yaml --set server.affinity=""

My config file: (modified hosts, join and k8sAuthMethodHost for privacy reasons)

global:
  enabled: false
  name: consul
  datacenter: dc1
  acls:
    manageSystemACLs: true
    bootstrapToken:

Hello,

I did follow that tutorial just now, however I ran into the same error as seen below:

Issue Resolved: I re created my config.yaml and found out that a couple of the values were incorrect that caused the above errors. I was experiementing with the config earlier and did not revert some values to their original. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
