Initializing the cluster

For the initialization of the Kubernetes Ubuntu master and joining Windows nodes, we will be using kubeadm—as of Kubernetes 1.16 (and also 1.17), this is the only well-automated cluster deployment method for hybrid Windows/Linux clusters. The first step is the installation of kubeadm, kubelet, and kubectl on the Ubuntu Server VM. This is also covered in a script available in the GitHub repository, at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-On-Kubernetes-on-Windows/blob/master/Chapter07/03_ubuntu-install-kubeadm.sh.
