# Join Service
Implementation for Constellation's node flow to join an existing cluster.
The join service runs on each control-plane node of the Kubernetes cluster.
New nodes (at cluster start, or later through autoscaling) send an IssueJoinTicket request to the service over [aTLS](../bootstrapper/atls/).
The join service verifies the new nodes certificate and attestation statement.
If attestation is successful, the new node is supplied with a disk encryption key for its state disk, and a Kubernetes bootstrap token, so it may join the cluster.
## Packages
### [joinproto](./joinproto/)
Proto definitions for the join service.
### [internal/server](./internal/server/)
The `server` implements gRPC endpoints for joining the cluster and holds the main application logic.
Connections between the join service and joining nodes are secured using [aTLS](../internal/atls/README.md)

```
### [internal/kms](./internal/kms/)
Implements interaction with Constellation's key management service.
This is needed for fetching data encryption keys for joining nodes.
### [internal/kubeadm](./internal/kubeadm/)
Implements interaction with the Kubernetes API to create join tokens for new nodes.
### [internal/validator](./internal/validator/)
A wrapper for the more generic `atls.Validator`, allowing for updates to the underlying validator without having to restart the service.
## [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile)
