👑 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — kubeadm join phase control-plane-prepare 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the kubernetes manual, section 1, and specifically the kubeadm join phase control-plane-prepare page. this one's from Eric Paris, January 2015, and it's here to prep a machine for control plane duty. let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

kubeadm join phase control-plane-prepare — get this machine ready to serve as a control plane. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubeadm join phase control-plane-prepare [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Prepare the machine for serving a control plane. that's it, that's the mission, that's the main character energy right there 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

these didn't come from this command, they got passed down like a cute hand-me-down jacket from the parent commands. still iconic tho:

• --rootfs="" — the path to the 'real' host root filesystem. if you set this, kubeadm will chroot into whatever path you gave it. so like, it hops into that directory and pretends that's the whole world. lowkey powerful, use with intention 💫
• --version=false — version info time. --version or --version=raw prints version information and then dips out (quits). and --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version. pick your fighter ✨

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

# Prepares the machine for serving a control plane

sign-off time: this is the Manuals / User section of KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes), and it's dated Jan 2015 because that's what the footer says. periodt. 💖
