If you run "wget https://cdn.dl.k8s.io/release/v1.27.4/bin/linux/amd64/kubeadm.sha256" from your Ubuntu prompt what happens? Are you able to download the kubeadm.sha256 file?

Hi @deviprasaddas, we haven't heard back from you, do you still have this issue?
There isn't enough information in this issue to make it actionable, and a long enough duration has passed, so this issue is likely difficult to replicate.

I will close this issue for now but feel free to reopen when you feel ready to provide more information.
