kubeadm: easily bootstrap a secure Kubernetes cluster

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Example usage:

Create a two-machine cluster with one control-plane node
(which controls the cluster), and one worker node
(where your workloads, like Pods and Deployments run).

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ On the first machine:                                    │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ control-plane# kubeadm init                              │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ On the second machine:                                   │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ worker# kubeadm join <arguments-returned-from-init>      │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

You can then repeat the second step on as many other machines as you like.
