kubeadm upgrade phase

In v1.15.0, kubeadm introduced preliminary support for kubeadm upgrade node phases. Phases for other kubeadm upgrade sub-commands such as apply, could be added in the following releases.

kubeadm upgrade node phase

Using this phase you can choose to execute the separate steps of the upgrade of secondary control-plane or worker nodes. Please note that kubeadm upgrade apply still has to be called on a primary control-plane node.

Use this command to invoke single phase of the node workflow

--kubeconfig string     Default: "/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf"

--patches string

Path to a directory that contains files named "target[suffix][+patchtype].extension". For example, "kube-apiserver0+merge.yaml" or just "etcd.json". "target" can be one of "kube-apiserver", "kube-controller-manager", "kube-scheduler", "etcd". "patchtype" can be one of "strategic", "merge" or "json" and they match the patch formats supported by kubectl. The default "patchtype" is "strategic". "extension" must be either "json" or "yaml". "suffix" is an optional string that can be used to determine which patches are applied first alpha-numerically.
