kubeadm config
During kubeadm init, kubeadm uploads the ClusterConfiguration object to your cluster
in a ConfigMap called kubeadm-config in the kube-system namespace. This configuration is then read during
kubeadm join, kubeadm reset and kubeadm upgrade.
You can use kubeadm config print to print the default static configuration that kubeadm
uses for kubeadm init and kubeadm join.
For more information on init and join navigate to
Using kubeadm init with a configuration file
or Using kubeadm join with a configuration file.
For more information on using the kubeadm configuration API navigate to Customizing components with the kubeadm API.
You can use kubeadm config migrate to convert your old configuration files that contain a deprecated
API version to a newer, supported API version.
kubeadm config images list and kubeadm config images pull can be used to list and pull the images
that kubeadm requires.
kubeadm config print
Print configuration
Synopsis
This command prints configurations for subcommands provided. For details, see: https://pkg.go.dev/k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubeadm/app/apis/kubeadm#section-directories

Options inherited from parent commands
| --kubeconfig string Default: "/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf" | |

kubeadm config print init-defaults
Print default init configuration, that can be used for 'kubeadm init'
Synopsis
This command prints objects such as the default init configuration that is used for 'kubeadm init'.
Note that sensitive values like the Bootstrap Token fields are replaced with placeholder values like "abcdef.0123456789abcdef" in order to pass validation but not perform the real computation for creating a token.
kubeadm config print init-defaults [flags]
Options
| --component-configs strings | |
A comma-separated list for component config API objects to print the default values for. Available values: [KubeProxyConfiguration KubeletConfiguration]. If this flag is not set, no component configs will be printed. |

kubeadm config migrate
Read an older version of the kubeadm configuration API types from a file, and output the similar config object for the newer version
Synopsis
This command lets you convert configuration objects of older versions to the latest supported version, locally in the CLI tool without ever touching anything in the cluster. In this version of kubeadm, the following API versions are supported:
- kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
Further, kubeadm can only write out config of version "kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3", but read both types. So regardless of what version you pass to the --old-config parameter here, the API object will be read, deserialized, defaulted, converted, validated, and re-serialized when written to stdout or --new-config if specified.
In other words, the output of this command is what kubeadm actually would read internally if you submitted this file to "kubeadm init"
kubeadm config migrate [flags]
Options
| -h, --help | |
help for migrate |
|
| --new-config string | |
Path to the resulting equivalent kubeadm config file using the new API version. Optional, if not specified output will be sent to STDOUT. |
|
| --old-config string | |
Path to the kubeadm config file that is using an old API version and should be converted. This flag is mandatory. |
|
Options inherited from parent commands
| --kubeconfig string Default: "/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf" | |
