I am using the latest verions of the opeshift-restclient and the kubernetes python client.

We have fixed this issue on our end.

It turned out the root cause was that the kubeconfig file on that node was too big, with ssl cert and key data directly embedded in it, within huge strings. The openshift_raw module is merely calling the kubernetes python client, which was the real source of the error.

We removed the large certificate-authority-data strings, and replaced them with an external cert using certificate-authority: /path/to/cert/
