Bootstrapping Kubernetes on the primary node

After booting the Talos VMs, you can now bootstrap the Kubernetes cluster using the talosconfig command. The following parameters are relevant for this procedure:
  • --talosconfig: Specifies the talosconfig.yaml file generated by the edaadm tool.
  • -n: Specifies the IP address of the primary node in your Kubernetes cluster.
  • -e: Specifies another IP address of the primary node in your Kubernetes cluster.

Execute the following command:

talosctl bootstrap \ 
  --talosconfig path/to/talosconfig.yaml \ 
  -n 192.0.2.11 \ 
  -e 192.0.2.11 

Wait for several minutes for the Kubernetes cluster to come up and for all the nodes join the cluster. The process should take less than 15 minutes.
