.SH NAME
kubeadm init phase bootstrap-token - Generates bootstrap tokens used to join a node to a cluster


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBkubeadm init phase bootstrap-token\fP [OPTIONS]


.SH DESCRIPTION
Bootstrap tokens are used for establishing bidirectional trust between a node joining the cluster and a control-plane node.

This command makes all the configurations required to make bootstrap tokens works and then creates an initial token.


.SH OPTIONS
\fB--config\fP=""
	Path to a kubeadm configuration file.

.PP
\fB--dry-run\fP=false
	Don't apply any changes; just output what would be done.

.PP
\fB--kubeconfig\fP="/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf"
	The kubeconfig file to use when talking to the cluster. If the flag is not set, a set of standard locations can be searched for an existing kubeconfig file.

	Skip printing of the default bootstrap token generated by 'kubeadm init'.

.PP
\fB--version\fP=false
	--version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
