Create bootstrap tokens on the server.

### 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]
```
