This document provides an overview of the kubeadm tool for bootstrapping Kubernetes clusters. It discusses initializing the control plane with kubeadm init and joining nodes to the cluster with kubeadm join. Key phases of the kubeadm init command include preflight checks, generating certs, configuring the control plane and etcd, and uploading certificates. The kubeadm join phases validate the joining node and connect it to the control plane. Additional documentation links are also provided.
