Synopsis

This command will create a bootstrap token for you. You can specify the usages for this token, the "time to live" and an optional human friendly description.

The [token] is the actual token to write. This should be a securely generated random token of the form "[a-z0-9]{6}.[a-z0-9]{16}". If no [token] is given, kubeadm will generate a random token instead.

kubeadm token create [token]

Options

--certificate-key string
When used together with '--print-join-command', print the full 'kubeadm join' flag needed to join the cluster as a control-plane. To create a new certificate key you must use 'kubeadm init phase upload-certs --upload-certs'.
--config string
Path to a kubeadm configuration file.
--description string
A human friendly description of how this token is used.
--groups stringSlice     Default: [system:bootstrappers:kubeadm:default-node-token]

--print-join-command

--ttl duration     Default: 24h0m0s
