Jason Bornhoft:
I believe that the client version is your local kubectl version and the server version matches the version output of k get node | grep master

#3

Jason Bornhoft:

master $ k version --short
Client Version: v1.17.0
Server Version: v1.16.0
master $ k get node
NAME     STATUS   ROLES    AGE   VERSION
master   Ready    master   20m   v1.16.0
node01   Ready    <none>   19m   v1.16.0

Jason Bornhoft:
More precisely, the server version is this

master $ k describe pod -n kube-system kube-apiserver | grep Image:
