One post tagged with "Workers"

In the previous article we assembled the control plane manually: issued certificates, prepared configurations, and launched the management components. The API server is responding, but the cluster still has no worker nodes.

Without worker nodes there is nowhere to run application pods. In this article we will add a Worker node and walk through the entire path from a bare VM to a registered Kubernetes node.

The format is the same as in the first part: prepare the OS, install containerd and kubelet, set up cluster connectivity, and verify node registration. Two approaches are covered: the manual path via bootstrap tokens and the CSR API, or the standard kubeadm join route.
