Description

This is an issue to track the progress of supporting `kubeadm` ([link](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cmd/kubeadm)) as a cluster bootstrap avenue for `kops`.

### Success Criteria (Day 1)

1. Specify a command line flag to instruct `kops` to use `kubeadm` in place of `nodeup`
2. The feature will be experimental, and will not be advertised as production ready.
3. The new bootstrap avenue will need a name to be compatible with Cloud Formation https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/1841

### Future considerations

##### Output

1. We will need to come up with a clever name for **bootstrap avenue**. This will probably manifest itself as a command line flag, as well as an API parameter for kops. Respond below with suggestions please!
2. We will need to determine how to advertise this as an experimental feature of kops. Again, suggestions below please!

Research direction

Start by reviewing kops's existing nodeup bootstrap path and the linked kubeadm source. Check issue 1841 for Cloud Formation naming constraints; done means an experimental kubeadm bootstrap avenue has a defined flag, API name, and advertisement approach.
