Step 5:

Copy + paste and run the command “export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf”

Step 7:

Now go back to node1 and copy the command to join worker node from the output which says “Then you can join any number of worker nodes by running the following on each as root:”

Paste and run this command on node2

Step 8:

Run the following commands on node1 to confirm that the kubernetes cluster with one Control Plane node and one Worker node is created successfully

kubectl get nodes

kubectl cluster-info
