Read an older version of the kubeadm configuration API types from a file, and output the similar config object for the newer version

### Synopsis



This command lets you convert configuration objects of older versions to the latest supported version,
locally in the CLI tool without ever touching anything in the cluster.
In this version of kubeadm, the following API versions are supported:
- kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta4

Further, kubeadm can only write out config of version "kubeadm.k8s.io/v1beta4", but read both types.
So regardless of what version you pass to the --old-config parameter here, the API object will be
read, deserialized, defaulted, converted, validated, and re-serialized when written to stdout or
--new-config if specified.

In other words, the output of this command is what kubeadm actually would read internally if you
submitted this file to "kubeadm init"


```
kubeadm config migrate [flags]
```
