Token Management
Server Token Rotation
Version Gate
Available as of 2023-11 releases (v1.28.3+rke2r2, v1.27.7+rke2r2, v1.26.10+rke2r2, v1.25.15+rke2r2).
The rke2 token rotate command allows you to rotate and replace the original token used for server bootstrap. After running the command on a single server, all servers and agents that used the original token should be restarted with the new token. The original token will be invalidated and cannot be used to join any new servers or agents to the cluster.
