kubeadm alpha 90

{{< caution >}} kubeadm alpha provides a preview of a set of features made available for gathering feedback from the community. Please try it out and give us feedback! {{< /caution >}}

In v1.8.0, kubeadm introduced the kubeadm alpha phase command with the aim of making kubeadm more modular. This modularity enables you to invoke atomic sub-steps of the bootstrap process; you can let kubeadm do some parts and fill in yourself where you need customizations.

kubeadm alpha phase is consistent with kubeadm init workflow, and behind the scene both use the same code.

kubeadm alpha phase preflight

You can execute preflight checks both for the master node, like in kubeadm init, or for the worker node like in kubeadm join.

kubeadm alpha phase certs

You can create all required certificates with the all subcommand or selectively create certificates.
