## Overview

Package v1beta2 defines the v1beta2 version of the kubeadm configuration file format.
This version improves on the v1beta1 format by fixing some minor issues and adding a few new fields.

A list of changes since v1beta1:

- "certificateKey" field is added to InitConfiguration and JoinConfiguration.
- "ignorePreflightErrors" field is added to the NodeRegistrationOptions.
- The JSON "omitempty" tag is used in a more places where appropriate.
- The JSON "omitempty" tag of the "taints" field (inside NodeRegistrationOptions) is removed.

See the Kubernetes 1.15 changelog for further details.

Migration from old kubeadm config versions

Please convert your v1beta1 configuration files to v1beta2 using the "kubeadm config migrate" command of kubeadm v1.15.x
(conversion from older releases of kubeadm config files requires older release of kubeadm as well e.g.

- kubeadm v1.11 should be used to migrate v1alpha1 to v1alpha2; kubeadm v1.12 should be used to translate v1alpha2 to v1alpha3;
- kubeadm v1.13 or v1.14 should be used to translate v1alpha3 to v1beta1)

Nevertheless, kubeadm v1.15.x will support reading from v1beta1 version of the kubeadm config file format.

## 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:

```yaml
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: InitConfiguration

apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: ClusterConfiguration

apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: KubeletConfiguration

apiVersion: kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: KubeProxyConfiguration

apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: JoinConfiguration
```

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

```shell
kubeadm config print init-defaults
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.

```yaml
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: InitConfiguration
bootstrapTokens:
  ...
nodeRegistration:
  ...
```

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).

- `apiServer`, 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.

  ```yaml
  apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
  kind: ClusterConfiguration
  networking:
      ...
  etcd:
      ...
  apiServer:
    extraArgs:
      ...
    extraVolumes:
      ...
  ...
  ```

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.

  ```yaml
  apiVersion: kubeproxy.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
  kind: KubeProxyConfiguration
    ...
  ```

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.

```yaml
apiVersion: kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: KubeletConfiguration
  ...
```

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.

## Kubeadm join configuration types

When executing kubeadm join with the `--config` option, the JoinConfiguration type should be provided.

```yaml
apiVersion: kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta2
kind: JoinConfiguration
  ...
```

The JoinConfiguration type should be used to configure runtime settings, that in case of `kubeadm join`
are the discovery method used for accessing the cluster info 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).

- `APIEndpoint`, that represents the endpoint of the instance of the API server to be eventually deployed on this node.

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` 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.</td>

configuration object lets you customize what IP/DNS name and port the local API server advertises it's accessible
