A big gottcha here: the "tokens" generated by `microk8s join` are _one time use only_.

Therefore, if you run into e.g the /etc/hosts error when trying the join command, you must re-run the `microk8s add-node` command to get a new token.

Is this what you meant [Tormod Haugene](https://hashnode.com/@stormod):

Get a new microk8s join link by again running "microk8s add-node" in the initial VM and paste it into the VM whose node is to be added.
