✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) ✨

okay bestie, so this page lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's the kubeadm init phase mark-control-plane one 💖 it was written by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015, and we're gonna get into all of it, no skipping, periodt.

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubeadm init phase mark-control-plane — Mark a node as a control-plane 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubeadm init phase mark-control-plane [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Mark a node as a control-plane. that's the whole vibe, that's the whole job 🫶 it literally just slaps the control-plane status onto a node, and honestly? iconic behaviour.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• --config="" — Path to a kubeadm configuration file. like, the file that tells kubeadm what's up 💅
• --dry-run=false — Don't apply any changes; just output what would be done. so it's the "let me rehearse my speech in the mirror" of flags 🪞 nothing actually happens, you just get to see the plan.
• --node-name="" — Specify the node name. if you don't say who, it's not gonna guess, bestie 🎯

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these ones came from the parent command, so they're like the family heirlooms of this tool 😭

• --rootfs="" — The path to the 'real' host root filesystem. This will cause kubeadm to chroot into the provided path. yes, literally chroot, it's giving main character energy in the filesystem 🌈
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version. so it can tell you the version, or let you be the version, your call 💫

---

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

# Applies control-plane label and taint to the current node, functionally equivalent to what executed by kubeadm init.
kubeadm init phase mark-control-plane --config config.yaml

# Applies control-plane label and taint to a specific node
kubeadm init phase mark-control-plane --node-name myNode

see? first one is "do the thing to whoever's here right now", second one is "do the thing to myNode specifically" 🎯 both apply the control-plane label and taint, just so we're clear 👑

📜 HISTORY 📜

January 2015, Originally compiled by Eric Paris (eparis at redhat dot com) based on the kubernetes source material, but hopefully they have been automatically generated since! 🙈 like, imagine hand-maintaining all this forever, couldn't be them.

and that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this was the User manuals edition, KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes), compiled with love (and by Eric Paris) back in January 2015 — stay slaying, drink water, and always --dry-run before you commit 🫶✨
