In v1.8.0, kubeadm introduced the kubeadm alpha phase
command with the aim of making kubeadm more modular. In v1.13.0 this command graduated to kubeadm init phase
. This modularity enables you to invoke atomic sub-steps of the bootstrap process. Hence, you can let kubeadm do some parts and fill in yourself where you need customizations.
kubeadm init phase
is consistent with the kubeadm init workflow,
and behind the scene both use the same code.
Using this command you can execute preflight checks on a control-plane node.
Run master pre-flight checks
Run master pre-flight checks, functionally equivalent to what implemented by kubeadm init.

To use kube-dns instead of CoreDNS you have to pass a configuration file:
# for installing a DNS addon only
kubeadm init phase addon coredns --config=someconfig.yaml
# for creating a complete control plane node
kubeadm init --config=someconfig.yaml
# for listing or pulling images
kubeadm config images list/pull --config=someconfig.yaml
# for upgrades
kubeadm upgrade apply --config=someconfig.yaml
The file has to contain a DNS
field inClusterConfiguration
and also a type for the addon - kube-dns
(default value is CoreDNS
).
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterConfiguration
dns:
type: "kube-dns"
For more details on each field in the v1beta1
configuration you can navigate to our
API reference pages.
kubeadm init
or kubeadm join
