kubeadm init phase
kubeadm init phase enables you to invoke atomic steps of the bootstrap process.
Hence, you can let kubeadm do some of the work and you can fill in the gaps
if you wish to apply customization.
kubeadm init phase is consistent with the kubeadm init workflow,
and behind the scene both use the same code.
kubeadm init phase preflight
Using this command you can execute preflight checks on a control-plane node.
Run pre-flight checks
Synopsis
Run pre-flight checks for kubeadm init.
kubeadm init phase preflight [flags]

Options
| --config string | |
Path to a kubeadm configuration file. |
|
| --cri-socket string | |

"patchtype" can be one of "strategic", "merge" or "json" and they match the patch formats supported by kubectl. The default "patchtype" is "strategic". "extension" must be either "json" or "yaml". "suffix" is an optional string that can be used to determine which patches are applied first alpha-numerically. |
