[preflight/images] Pulling images required for setting up a Kubernetes cluster
[preflight/images] This might take a minute or two, depending on the speed of your internet connection
[preflight/images] You can also perform this action in beforehand using 'kubeadm config images pull'
[preflight] Some fatal errors occurred:

[preflight] If you know what you are doing, you can make a check non-fatal with `--ignore-preflight-errors=...`

You can also run following command rather than writing the yaml,

kubeadm init --kubernetes-version=1.11.0 --apiserver-advertise-address=<public_ip> --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=<private_ip>

If you are using flannel network run following commad,

kubeadm init --kubernetes-version=1.11.0 --pod-network-cidr=10.244.0.0/16 --apiserver-advertise-address=<public_ip> --apiserver-cert-extra-sans=<internal_ip>
