Minikube has the specific node ip address (192.168.99.100) for single cluster, if I using kubeadm to create many nodes cluster, what should I do to find this ip address?

Answers

When using kubeadm to create a multi-node Kubernetes cluster, each node will have its own IP address within the cluster network. To find the IP address of a specific node in the cluster, you can use various methods depending on your network setup.

Here are some common approaches:

  1. kubectl get nodes: You can use the kubectl get nodes command to list all the nodes in your cluster along with their IP addresses.

    kubectl get nodes -o wide

    This command will display the internal IP addresses of all nodes in the cluster.

  2. Node IP Address File: You can SSH into a node and check its network configuration to find its IP address. Usually, you can find the IP address assigned to a node in the network configuration files (/etc/network/interfaces, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, etc.) or by using the ip addr command.

  3. Cluster Networking Plugin: If you are using a cluster networking solution like Calico, Flannel, or Weave, you can often find node IP addresses by inspecting the network configuration or using the networking tool provided by the plugin.

  4. Cloud Provider's Console: If you are deploying your cluster on a cloud provider (such as AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.), you can usually find the IP addresses of your nodes in the cloud provider's console or dashboard.

  5. DNS Resolution: If your cluster is configured to use DNS, you can often resolve the IP addresses of nodes by querying the DNS server using the node's hostname.

Choose the method that best suits your environment and network configuration. Once you have identified the IP address of a specific node, you can use it for various purposes such as accessing the Kubernetes API, connecting to applications deployed on that node, or troubleshooting networking issues.
