Code change:
kubectl label nodes --all node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers- ``` <del> ### Joining your nodes {#join-nodes} The nodes are where your workloads (containers and Pods, etc) run. To add new nodes to your cluster do the following for each machine: * SSH to the machine * Become root (e.g. `sudo su -`) * [Install a runtime](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/install-kubeadm/#installing-runtime) if needed * Run the command that was output by `kubeadm init`. For example: ```bash kubeadm join --token <token> <control-plane-host>:<control-plane-port> --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:<hash> ``` If you do not have the token, you can get it by running the following command on the control-plane node: ```bash kubeadm token list ``` The output is similar to this: ```console TOKEN                    TTL  EXPIRES              USAGES           DESCRIPTION            EXTRA GROUPS 8ewj1p.9r9hcjoqgajrj4gi  23h  2018-06-12T02:51:28Z authentication,  The default bootstrap  system: signing          token generated by     bootstrappers: 'kubeadm init'.        kubeadm: default-node-token ``` By default, tokens expire after 24 hours. If you are joining a node to the cluster after the current token has expired, you can create a new token by running the following command on the control-plane node: ```bash kubeadm token create ``` The output is similar to this: </del> <ins> ### Adding more control plane nodes </ins> <del> ```console 5didvk.d09sbcov8ph2amjw ``` If you don't have the value of `--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash`, you can get it by running the following command chain on the control-plane node: ```bash openssl x509 -pubkey -in /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der 2>/dev/null |  openssl dgst -sha256 -hex | sed 's/^.* //' ``` The output is similar to: ```console 8cb2de97839780a412b93877f8507ad6c94f73add17d5d7058e91741c9d5ec78 ``` {{< note >}} To specify an IPv6 tuple for `<control-plane-host>:<control-plane-port>`, IPv6 address must be enclosed in square brackets, for example: `[2001:db8::101]:2073`. {{< /note >}} </del> <ins> See [Creating Highly Available Clusters with kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/high-availability/) for steps on creating a high availability kubeadm cluster by adding more control plane nodes. </ins> <del> The output should look something like: </del> <ins> ### Adding worker nodes {#join-nodes} </ins> <del> ``` [preflight] Running pre-flight checks </del> <ins> The worker nodes are where your workloads run. </ins> <del> ... (log output of join workflow) ... </del> <ins> The following pages show how to add Linux and Windows worker nodes to the cluster by using the `kubeadm join` command: </ins> <del> Node join complete: * Certificate signing request sent to control-plane and response received. * Kubelet informed of new secure connection details. Run 'kubectl get nodes' on control-plane to see this machine join. ``` A few seconds later, you should notice this node in the output from `kubectl get nodes` when run on the control-plane node. {{< note >}} As the cluster nodes are usually initialized sequentially, the CoreDNS Pods are likely to all run on the first control-plane node. To provide higher availability, please rebalance the CoreDNS Pods with `kubectl -n kube-system rollout restart deployment coredns` after at least one new node is joined. {{< /note >}} </del> <ins> * [Adding Linux worker nodes](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/adding-linux-nodes/) * [Adding Windows worker nodes](/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/adding-windows-nodes/) </ins> ### (Optional) Controlling your cluster from machines other than the control-plane node

text: Please note: This issue is not suitable for new contributors since you need some familiarity with how Kubernetes works. The Kubernetes website currently lacks a guide on creating Windows/Linux nodes. See for more details. SIG Windows opted to remove the guide that did exist for creating Windows nodes, in PR Write a new task page about creating nodes for all operating systems. This could, potentially, be in a tabbed format as mentions in the issue referenced above. We would also need the entry reflected on the creates the Linux task page by moving / refactoring the existing "join node" contents from the "create a cluster" page: creates the Windows task page by taking the content from at the end of the Windows page we add note/disclaimer whatever that says that CNI on Windows needs special handling and we link to the various CNI choices at: adds tabs in the to choose between OS for joining nodes. /priority backlog /help
