title: Overview of kubeadm
|
|
---
|
|
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cncf/artwork/master/kubernetes/certified-kubernetes/versionless/color/certified-kubernetes-color.png" align="right" width="150px">Kubeadm is a tool built to provide `kubeadm init` and `kubeadm join` as best-practice “fast paths” for creating Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
|
|
kubeadm performs the actions necessary to get a minimum viable cluster up and running. By design, it cares only about bootstrapping, not about provisioning machines. Likewise, installing various nice-to-have addons, like the Kubernetes Dashboard, monitoring solutions, and cloud-specific addons, is not in scope.
|
|
|
|
Instead, we expect higher-level and more tailored tooling to be built on top of kubeadm, and ideally, using kubeadm as the basis of all deployments will make it easier to create conformant clusters.
|

## What's next
|
|
|
|
* [kubeadm init](kubeadm-init.md) to bootstrap a Kubernetes master node
|
|
* [kubeadm join](kubeadm-join.md) to bootstrap a Kubernetes worker node and join it to the cluster
|
|
* [kubeadm upgrade](kubeadm-upgrade.md) to upgrade a Kubernetes cluster to a newer version
|
|
* [kubeadm config](kubeadm-config.md) if you initialized your cluster using kubeadm v1.7.x or lower, to configure your cluster for `kubeadm upgrade`
|
|
* [kubeadm token](kubeadm-token.md) to manage tokens for `kubeadm join`
|
|
* [kubeadm reset](kubeadm-reset.md) to revert any changes made to this host by `kubeadm init` or `kubeadm join`
