Microk8s not running correctly

[lbarboi]

Summary

Microk8s seems to not install correctly
When I run "microk8s inspect" it complains about
Inspecting dqlite
Inspect dqlite
cp: cannot stat '/var/snap/microk8s/7394/var/kubernetes/backend/localnode.yaml': No such file or directory

What Should Happen Instead?

I am guessing the file should exist as it messes up the kubernetes network stack

Reproduction Steps

Issue happens on all out Azure vm's where we install microk8s with : snap install microk8s --classic
2. ...

Can you suggest a fix?

We manually do the following:

1. stop microk8s
2. create the file
3. chmod/chown the file correctly
4. start microk8s

Are you interested in contributing with a fix?
