On the Configure the Kubernetes API Server step, we're moving the file to the /var/lib/kubernetes/ directory. Now when we try to verify the Kubernetes version info utilizing the cert, we'll receive the following error:

curl --cacert ca.pem https://${KUBERNETES_PUBLIC_ADDRESS}:6443/version
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: ca.pem
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs

Addition: IMHO if hardcoding absolute paths is not a best idea by itself, doing it in several places of the document tends to make it unmanageable very fast. Wouldn't it be the right time to put that path into variable to handle from single place?
