Upgrade Kubernetes
On the controlplane node, run the command run the following commands:

• apt update
• This will update the package lists from the software repository.
• apt install kubeadm=1.20.0-00
• This will install the kubeadm version 1.20
• kubeadm upgrade apply v1.20.0
• This will upgrade kubernetes controlplane. Note that this can take a few minutes.
• apt install kubelet=1.20.0-00 This will update the kubelet with the version 1.20
• You may need to restart kubelet after it has been upgraded.
• Run: systemctl restart kubelet

openssl x509 -in /etc/kubernetes/pki/apiserver.crt -text

JSONPath node
kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[*].status.addresses
[?(@.type==”InternalIP”)].address}’ > /root/CKA/node_ips

Get Node OS Image
k get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[1].status.nodeInfo.
osImages}’

Expose deployment
kubectl expose deployment ingress-controller –type=NodePort –port=80 –name=ingress –dry-run=client -o yaml > ingress.yaml
