This page shows how to manually rotate the certificate authority (CA) certificates. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:

Configure load balancing, port forwarding, or setup firewall or DNS configurations to access applications in a cluster.

This command initializes a Kubernetes control plane node. Run this command in order to set up the Kubernetes control plane Synopsis Run this command in order to set up the Kubernetes control plane The "init" command executes the following phases: preflight Run pre-flight checks certs Certificate generation /ca Generate the self-signed Kubernetes CA to provision identities for other Kubernetes components /apiserver Generate the certificate for serving the Kubernetes API /apiserver-kubelet-client Generate the certificate for the API server to connect to kubelet /front-proxy-ca Generate the self-signed CA to provision identities for front proxy /front-proxy-client Generate the certificate for the front proxy client /etcd-ca Generate the self-signed CA to provision identities for etcd /etcd-server Generate the certificate for serving etcd /etcd-peer Generate the certificate for etcd nodes to communicate with each other /etcd-healthcheck-client Generate the certificate for liveness probes to healthcheck etcd /apiserver-etcd-client Generate the certificate the apiserver uses to access etcd /sa Generate a private key for signing service account tokens along with its public key kubeconfig Generate all kubeconfig files necessary to establish the control plane and the admin kubeconfig file /admin Generate a kubeconfig file for the admin to use and for kubeadm itself /super-admin Generate a kubeconfig file for the super-admin /kubelet Generate a kubeconfig file for the kubelet to use *only* for cluster bootstrapping purposes /controller-manager Generate a kubeconfig file for the controller manager to use /scheduler Generate a kubeconfig file for the scheduler to use etcd Generate static Pod manifest file for local etcd /local Generate the static Pod manifest file for a local, single-node local etcd instance control-plane Generate all static Pod manifest files necessary to establish the control plane /apiserver Generates the kube-apiserver static Pod manifest /controller-manager Generates the kube-controller-manager static Pod manifest /scheduler Generates the kube-scheduler static Pod manifest kubelet-start Write kubelet settings and (re)start the kubelet upload-config Upload the kubeadm and kubelet configuration to a ConfigMap /kubeadm Upload the kubeadm ClusterConfiguration to a ConfigMap /kubelet Upload the kubelet component config to a ConfigMap upload-certs Upload certificates to kubeadm-certs mark-control-plane Mark a node as a control-plane bootstrap-token Generates bootstrap tokens used to join a node to a cluster kubelet-finalize Updates settings relevant to the kubelet after TLS bootstrap /enable-client-cert-rotation Enable kubelet client certificate rotation addon Install required addons for passing conformance tests /coredns Install the CoreDNS addon to a Kubernetes cluster /kube-proxy Install the kube-proxy addon to a Kubernetes cluster show-join-command Show the join command for control-plane and worker node kubeadm init [flags] Options --apiserver-advertise-address string The IP address the API Server will advertise it's listening on.

Synopsis Edit the latest last-applied-configuration annotations of resources from the default editor. The edit-last-applied command allows you to directly edit any API resource you can retrieve via the command-line tools. It will open the editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR, or EDITOR environment variables, or fall back to 'vi' for Linux or 'notepad' for Windows. You can edit multiple objects, although changes are applied one at a time. The command accepts file names as well as command-line arguments, although the files you point to must be previously saved versions of resources.

Production-Grade Container Orchestration

Jobs represent one-off tasks that run to completion and then stop.

A Deployment manages a set of Pods to run an application workload, usually one that doesn't maintain state.

Make your HTTP (or HTTPS) network service available using a protocol-aware configuration mechanism, that understands web concepts like URIs, hostnames, paths, and more. The Ingress concept lets you map traffic to different backends based on rules you define via the Kubernetes API.
