kubeadm: add task pages for adding Linux and Windows worker nodes
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Adjust the "create a kubeadm cluster" page to link to
two separate task pages for adding Linux / Windows worker nodes.

Base the Windows page on the existing document:
https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/sig-windows-tools/blob/master/guides/guide-for-adding-windows-node.md

### 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

'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:

<!-- overview -->

This page explains how to add Linux worker nodes to a kubeadm cluster.

## {{% heading "prerequisites" %}}

* Each joining worker node has installed the required components from
[Installing kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/install-kubeadm/), such as,
kubeadm, the kubelet and a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="container-runtime" text="container runtime" >}}.
* A running kubeadm cluster created by `kubeadm init` and following the steps
in the document [Creating a cluster with kubeadm](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/create-cluster-kubeadm/).
* You need superuser access to the node.

<!-- steps -->

## Adding Linux worker nodes

To add new Linux worker nodes to your cluster do the following for each machine:

1. Connect to the machine by using SSH or another method.
1. Run the command that was output by `kubeadm init`. For example:

```bash
sudo kubeadm join --token <token> <control-plane-host>:<control-plane-port> --discovery-token-ca-cert-hash sha256:<hash>
```

### Additional information for kubeadm join

{{< 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`.

If you do not have the token, you can get it by running the following command on the control plane node:

```bash
sudo kubeadm token list
```

The output is similar to this:

default-node-token
```

By default, node join 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
sudo kubeadm token create
```

The output is similar to this:

```console

```

If you don't have the value of `--discovery-token-ca-cert-hash`, you can get it by running the
following commands on the control plane node:

```bash
sudo cat /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt | openssl x509 -pubkey | openssl rsa -pubin -outform der 2>/dev/null | \

8cb2de97839780a412b93877f8507ad6c94f73add17d5d7058e91741c9d5ec78
```

The output of the `kubeadm join` command should look something like:

```
[preflight] Running pre-flight checks

received.
* Kubelet informed of new secure connection details.

```

A few seconds later, you should notice this node in the output from `kubectl get nodes`.
(for example, run `kubectl` on a control plane node).

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
