Error setting up initial control plane configuration. Get https://k8s-svc-ip:443/apis/gateway.nginx.org/v1alpha1 is timing out

I am installing nginx gateway fabric on aks cluster with k8s version 1.28.3 and I am getting error "setting up initial control plane configuration. Get https://k8s-svc-ip:443/apis/gateway.nginx.org/v1alpha1 is timeout" Only change I did in the deployment code is I added "allowPrivilegeEscalation: false" on Control plane container which uses the image ghcr.io/nginxinc/nginx-gateway-fabric:1.2.0. Does control plane image needs privilege escalation? If so why?

allowPrivilegeEscalation is set to false by default on the control plane container. The error you're seeing appears to be a connection issue with the kubernetes API server. Are there any other errors logs that you see? When you install, do you see a resource listed when running kubectl get nginxgateways.gateway.nginx.org -A?

Thank you, Indeed it is the connection issue. Once I fixed it pods are running and connection is established with API server.
