Astronomer+Airflow cannot create pod

The problem is that I am able to run an pod with kubectl but not with kubernetesPodOperator
It looks like the airflow instance isn’t able to interrogate the local minikube cluster (single node).

OS: Ubuntu-20.04
Docker version: 20.10.5
kubectl version: v1.20.5 - linux/amd64
kubectl cluster-info:

   Kubernetes control plane is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443
   KubeDNS is running at https://192.168.49.2:8443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
curl -sSL https://install.astronomer.io | sudo bash

task-1 = KubernetesPodOperator(
        namespace='default', 
        image="busybox",
        labels={'dag-id': dag.dag_id},
        name="busybox",
        task_id='fetch',
        in_cluster=False,
        cluster_context='minikube' ,
        config_file='/usr/local/airflow/include/.kube/config',
        is_delete_operator_pod=True,
        get_logs=True
    )

Even I’m facing the same issue when I deploy astronomer airflow dag locally using KubernetesPodOperator and integrating with local minikube cluster.
