You may want to add **worker** nodes to your existing cluster. This can be done by re-running the `cluster.yml` playbook, or you can target the bare minimum needed to get kubelet installed on the worker and talking to your masters. This is especially helpful when doing something like autoscaling your clusters.

The main client of Kubernetes is `kubectl`. It is installed on each kube-master
host and can optionally be configured on your ansible host by setting
host and can optionally be configured on your ansible host by setting
`kubeconfig_localhost: true` in the configuration. If enabled, kubectl and
admin.conf will appear in the artifacts/ directory after deployment. You can
see a list of nodes by running the following commands:
`kubectl_localhost: true` and `kubeconfig_localhost: true` in the configuration:
- If `kubectl_localhost` enabled, `kubectl` will download onto `/usr/local/bin/` and setup with bash completion. A helper script `inventory/mycluster/artifacts/kubectl.sh` also created for setup with below `admin.conf`.
- If `kubeconfig_localhost` enabled `admin.conf` will appear in the `inventory/mycluster/artifacts/` directory after deployment.
You can see a list of nodes by running the following commands:
cd artifacts/
./kubectl --kubeconfig admin.conf get nodes
cd inventory/mycluster/artifacts
./kubectl.sh get nodes
If desired, copy kubectl to your bin dir and admin.conf to ~/.kube/config.
