kubeadm Configuration (v1beta3)

Package v1beta3 defines the v1beta3 version of the kubeadm configuration file format. This version improves on the v1beta2 format by fixing some minor issues and adding a few new fields.

A list of changes since v1beta2:

  • The deprecated ClusterConfiguration.useHyperKubeImage field has been removed. Kubeadm no longer supports the hyperkube image.
  • The ClusterConfiguration.dns.type field has been removed since CoreDNS is the only supported DNS server type by kubeadm.
  • Include “datapolicy” tags on the fields that hold secrets. This would result in the field values to be omitted when API structures are printed with klog.
  • Add InitConfiguration.skipPhases, JoinConfiguration.skipPhases to allow skipping a list of phases during kubeadm init/join command execution.
  • Add InitConfiguration.nodeRegistration.imagePullPolicy" andJoinConfiguration.nodeRegistration.imagePullPolicy` to allow specifying the images pull policy during kubeadm “init” and “join”. The value must be one of “Always”, “Never” or “IfNotPresent”. “IfNotPresent” is the default, which has been the existing behavior prior to this addition.
  • Add InitConfiguration.patches.directory, JoinConfiguration.patches.directory to allow the user to configure a directory from which to take patches for components deployed by kubeadm.
  • Move the BootstrapToken∗ API and related utilities out of the “kubeadm” API group to a new group “bootstraptoken”. The kubeadm API version v1beta3 no longer contains the BootstrapToken∗ structures.

Migration from old kubeadm config versions

  • kubeadm v1.15.x and newer can be used to migrate from the v1beta1 to v1beta2.
  • kubeadm v1.22.x no longer supports v1beta1 and older APIs, but can be used to migrate v1beta2 to v1beta3.

Basics

The preferred way to configure kubeadm is to pass an YAML configuration file with the —config option. Some of the configuration options defined in the kubeadm config file are also available as command line flags, but only the most common/simple use case are supported with this approach.

A kubeadm config file could contain multiple configuration types separated using three dashes (“—-”).

kubeadm supports the following configuration types:

  1. apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
  2. kind: InitConfiguration
  3. ---
  4. apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
  5. kind: ClusterConfiguration
  6. ---
  7. apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
  8. kind: KubeletConfiguration
  9. ---
  10. apiVersion: kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
  11. kind: KubeProxyConfiguration
  12. ---
  13. apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
  14. kind: JoinConfiguration

To print the defaults for “init” and “join” actions use the following commands:

  1. kubeadm config print init-defaults
  2. kubeadm config print join-defaults

The list of configuration types that must be included in a configuration file depends by the action you are performing (init or join) and by the configuration options you are going to use (defaults or advanced customization).

If some configuration types are not provided, or provided only partially, kubeadm will use default values; defaults provided by kubeadm includes also enforcing consistency of values across components when required (e.g. cluster-cidr flag on controller manager and clusterCIDR on kube-proxy).

Users are always allowed to override default values, with the only exception of a small subset of setting with relevance for security (e.g. enforce authorization-mode Node and RBAC on api server)

If the user provides a configuration types that is not expected for the action you are performing, kubeadm will ignore those types and print a warning.

Kubeadm init configuration types

When executing kubeadm init with the --config option, the following configuration types could be used: InitConfiguration, ClusterConfiguration, KubeProxyConfiguration, KubeletConfiguration, but only one between InitConfiguration and ClusterConfiguration is mandatory.

  1. apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
  2. kind: InitConfiguration
  3. bootstrapTokens:
  4. ...
  5. nodeRegistration:
  6. ...

The InitConfiguration type should be used to configure runtime settings, that in case of kubeadm init are the configuration of the bootstrap token and all the setting which are specific to the node where kubeadm is executed, including:

  • NodeRegistration, that holds fields that relate to registering the new node to the cluster; use it to customize the node name, the CRI socket to use or any other settings that should apply to this node only (e.g. the node ip).

  • LocalAPIEndpoint, that represents the endpoint of the instance of the API server to be deployed on this node; use it e.g. to customize the API server advertise address.

    1. apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta3
    2. kind: ClusterConfiguration
    3. networking:
    4. ...
    5. etcd:
    6. ...
    7. apiServer:
    8. extraArgs:
    9. ...
    10. extraVolumes:
    11. ...
    12. ...

The ClusterConfiguration type should be used to configure cluster-wide settings, including settings for:

  • Networking, that holds configuration for the networking topology of the cluster; use it e.g. to customize pod subnet or services subnet.

  • Etcd configurations; use it e.g. to customize the local etcd or to configure the API server for using an external etcd cluster.

  • kube-apiserver, kube-scheduler, kube-controller-manager configurations; use it to customize control-plane components by adding customized setting or overriding kubeadm default settings.

    1. apiVersion: kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
    2. kind: KubeProxyConfiguration
    3. ...

The KubeProxyConfiguration type should be used to change the configuration passed to kube-proxy instances deployed in the cluster. If this object is not provided or provided only partially, kubeadm applies defaults.

See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-proxy/ or https://godoc.org/k8s.io/kube-proxy/config/v1alpha1#KubeProxyConfiguration for kube proxy official documentation.

  1. apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
  2. kind: KubeletConfiguration
  3. ...

The KubeletConfiguration type should be used to change the configurations that will be passed to all kubelet instances deployed in the cluster. If this object is not provided or provided only partially, kubeadm applies defaults.

See https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kubelet/ or https://godoc.org/k8s.io/kubelet/config/v1beta1#KubeletConfiguration for kubelet official documentation.

Here is a fully populated example of a single YAML file containing multiple configuration types to be used during a kubeadm init run.

string
controlPlaneEndpoint sets a stable IP address or DNS name for the control plane; it can be a valid IP address or a RFC-1123 DNS subdomain, both with optional TCP port. In case the controlPlaneEndpoint is not specified, the advertiseAddress + bindPort are used; in case the controlPlaneEndpoint is specified but without a TCP port, the bindPort of the localAPIEndpoint is used. Possible usages are:
  • In a cluster with more than one control plane instances, this field should be assigned the address of the external load balancer in front of the control plane instances.
  • In environments with enforced node recycling, the ControlPlaneEndpoint could be used for assigning a stable DNS to the control plane.
apiServer

nodeRegistration holds fields that relate to registering the new control-plane node to the cluster
localAPIEndpoint
APIEndpoint
localAPIEndpoint represents the endpoint of the API server instance that’s deployed on this control plane node In HA setups, this differs from ClusterConfiguration.ControlPlaneEndpoint in the sense that ControlPlaneEndpoint is the global endpoint for the cluster, which then loadbalances the requests to each individual API server. This configuration object lets you customize what IP/DNS name and port the local API server advertises it’s accessible on. By default, kubeadm tries to auto-detect the IP of the default interface and use that, but in case that process fails you may set the desired value here.
certificateKey
string
certificateKey sets the key with which certificates and keys are encrypted prior to being uploaded in a Secret in the cluster during the “uploadcerts” init phase.
skipPhases
[]string
