1 - Feature Gates

This page contains an overview of the various feature gates an administrator can specify on different Kubernetes components.

See feature stages for an explanation of the stages for a feature.

Overview

Feature gates are a set of key=value pairs that describe Kubernetes features. You can turn these features on or off using the --feature-gates command line flag on each Kubernetes component.

Each Kubernetes component lets you enable or disable a set of feature gates that are relevant to that component. Use -h flag to see a full set of feature gates for all components. To set feature gates for a component, such as kubelet, use the --feature-gates flag assigned to a list of feature pairs:

--feature-gates=...,GracefulNodeShutdown=true

The following tables are a summary of the feature gates that you can set on different Kubernetes components.

The "Since" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced or its release stage is changed.
The "Until" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which you can still use a feature gate.
If a feature is in the Alpha or Beta state, you can find the feature listed in the Alpha/Beta feature gate table.
If a feature is stable you can find all stages for that feature listed in the Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table.
The Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table also lists deprecated and withdrawn features.

Note:

For a reference to old feature gates that are removed, please refer to feature gates removed.

Using a feature

Feature stages

A feature can be in Alpha, Beta or GA stage. An Alpha feature means:

Disabled by default.
Might be buggy. Enabling the feature may expose bugs.
Support for feature may be dropped at any time without notice.
The API may change in incompatible ways in a later software release without notice.
Recommended for use only in short-lived testing clusters, due to increased risk of bugs and lack of long-term support.

A Beta feature means:

Usually enabled by default. Beta API groups are disabled by default.
The feature is well tested. Enabling the feature is considered safe.
Support for the overall feature will not be dropped, though details may change.
The schema and/or semantics of objects may change in incompatible ways in a subsequent beta or stable release. When this happens, we will provide instructions for migrating to the next version. This may require deleting, editing, and re-creating API objects. The editing process may require some thought. This may require downtime for applications that rely on the feature.
Recommended for only non-business-critical uses because of potential for incompatible changes in subsequent releases. If you have multiple clusters that can be upgraded independently, you may be able to relax this restriction.

Note:

Please do try Beta features and give feedback on them! After they exit beta, it may not be practical for us to make more changes.

A General Availability (GA) feature is also referred to as a stable feature. It means:

The feature is always enabled; you cannot disable it.
The corresponding feature gate is no longer needed.
Stable versions of features will appear in released software for many subsequent versions.

List of feature gates

Each feature gate is designed for enabling/disabling a specific feature.

AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions: Enable match conditions on mutating & validating admission webhooks.
AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint: Enable a single HTTP endpoint /discovery/<version> which supports native HTTP caching with ETags containing all APIResources known to the API server.
AllowServiceLBStatusOnNonLB: Enables .status.ingress.loadBalancer to be set on Services of types other than LoadBalancer.
AnyVolumeDataSource: Enable use of any custom resource as the DataSource of a PVC.
APIListChunking: Enable the API clients to retrieve (LIST or GET) resources from API server in chunks.
APIPriorityAndFairness: Enable managing request concurrency with prioritization and fairness at each server. (Renamed from RequestManagement)
APIResponseCompression: Compress the API responses for LIST or GET requests.
APIServerIdentity: Assign each API server an ID in a cluster, using a Lease.
APIServerTracing: Add support for distributed tracing in the API server. See Traces for Kubernetes System Components for more details.
AppArmor: Enable use of AppArmor mandatory access control for Pods running on Linux nodes. See AppArmor Tutorial for more details.
CloudControllerManagerWebhook: Enable webhooks in cloud controller manager.
CloudDualStackNodeIPs: Enables dual-stack kubelet --node-ip with external cloud providers. See Configure IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack for more details.
ClusterTrustBundle: Enable ClusterTrustBundle objects and kubelet integration.
ClusterTrustBundleProjection: clusterTrustBundle projected volume sources.
ComponentSLIs: Enable the /metrics/slis endpoint on Kubernetes components like kubelet, kube-scheduler, kube-proxy, kube-controller-manager, cloud-controller-manager allowing you to scrape health check metrics.
ConsistentHTTPGetHandlers: Normalize HTTP get URL and Header passing for lifecycle handlers with probers.
ConsistentListFromCache: Allow the API server to serve consistent lists from cache.
ContainerCheckpoint: Enables the kubelet checkpoint API. See Kubelet Checkpoint API for more details.
ContextualLogging: Enables extra details in log output of Kubernetes components that support contextual logging.
CPUManager: Enable container level CPU affinity support, see CPU Management Policies.
CPUManagerPolicyAlphaOptions: This allows fine-tuning of CPUManager policies, experimental, Alpha-quality options This feature gate guards a group of CPUManager options whose quality level is alpha. This feature gate will never graduate to beta or stable.
CPUManagerPolicyBetaOptions: This allows fine-tuning of CPUManager policies, experimental, Beta-quality options This feature gate guards a group of CPUManager options whose quality level is beta. This feature gate will never graduate to stable.
CPUManagerPolicyOptions: Allow fine-tuning of CPUManager policies.
CRDValidationRatcheting: Enable updates to custom resources to contain violations of their OpenAPI schema if the offending portions of the resource update did not change. See Validation Ratcheting for more details.
CronJobsScheduledAnnotation: Set the scheduled job time as an annotation on Jobs that were created on behalf of a CronJob.
CrossNamespaceVolumeDataSource: Enable the usage of cross namespace volume data source to allow you to specify a source namespace in the dataSourceRef field of a PersistentVolumeClaim.
CSIMigrationPortworx: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the Portworx in-tree plugin to Portworx CSI plugin. Requires Portworx CSI driver to be installed and configured in the cluster.
CSIMigrationRBD: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the RBD in-tree plugin to Ceph RBD CSI plugin. Requires CSIMigration and csiMigrationRBD feature flags enabled and Ceph CSI plugin installed and configured in the cluster. This flag has been deprecated in favor of the InTreePluginRBDUnregister feature flag which prevents the registration of in-tree RBD plugin.
CSINodeExpandSecret: Enable passing secret authentication data to a CSI driver for use during a NodeExpandVolume CSI operation.
CSIVolumeHealth: Enable support for CSI volume health monitoring on node.
CustomCPUCFSQuotaPeriod: Enable nodes to change cpuCFSQuotaPeriod in kubelet config.
CustomResourceFieldSelectors: Enable selectableFields in the CustomResourceDefinition API to allow filtering of custom resource list, watch and deletecollection requests.
CustomResourceValidationExpressions: Enable expression language validation in CRD which will validate customer resource based on validation rules written in the x-kubernetes-validations extension.
DefaultHostNetworkHostPortsInPodTemplates:
This feature gate controls the point at which a default value for .spec.containers[*].ports[*].hostPort is assigned, for Pods using hostNetwork: true. The default since Kubernetes v1.28 is to only set a default value in Pods.

Enabling this means a default will be assigned even to the .spec of an embedded PodTemplate (for example, in a Deployment), which is the way that older releases of Kubernetes worked. You should migrate your code so that it does not rely on the legacy behavior.

EventedPLEG: Enable support for the kubelet to receive container life cycle events from the container runtime via an extension to CRI. (PLEG is an abbreviation for “Pod lifecycle event generator”). For this feature to be useful, you also need to enable support for container lifecycle events in each container runtime running in your cluster. If the container runtime does not announce support for container lifecycle events then the kubelet automatically switches to the legacy generic PLEG mechanism, even if you have this feature gate enabled.
ExecProbeTimeout: Ensure kubelet respects exec probe timeouts. This feature gate exists in case any of your existing workloads depend on a now-corrected fault where Kubernetes ignored exec probe timeouts. See readiness probes.
GracefulNodeShutdown: Enables support for graceful shutdown in kubelet. During a system shutdown, kubelet will attempt to detect the shutdown event and gracefully terminate pods running on the node. See Graceful Node Shutdown for more details.
GracefulNodeShutdownBasedOnPodPriority: Enables the kubelet to check Pod priorities when shutting down a node gracefully.

KubeletCgroupDriverFromCRI: Enable detection of the kubelet cgroup driver configuration option from the CRI. You can use this feature gate on nodes with a kubelet that supports the feature gate and where there is a CRI container runtime that supports the RuntimeConfig CRI call. If both CRI and kubelet support this feature, the kubelet ignores the cgroupDriver configuration setting (or deprecated --cgroup-driver command line argument). If you enable this feature gate and the container runtime doesn't support it, the kubelet falls back to using the driver configured using the cgroupDriver configuration setting. See Configuring a cgroup driver for more details.
KubeletInUserNamespace: Enables support for running kubelet in a user namespace. See Running Kubernetes Node Components as a Non-root User.
KubeletPodResourcesDynamicResources: Extend the kubelet's pod resources gRPC endpoint to to include resources allocated in ResourceClaims via DynamicResourceAllocation API.

NodeOutOfServiceVolumeDetach: When a Node is marked out-of-service using the node.kubernetes.io/out-of-service taint, Pods on the node will be forcefully deleted if they can not tolerate this taint, and the volume detach operations for Pods terminating on the node will happen immediately. The deleted Pods can recover quickly on different nodes.
NodeSwap: Enable the kubelet to allocate swap memory for Kubernetes workloads on a node. Must be used with KubeletConfiguration.failSwapOn set to false. For more details, please see swap memory
OpenAPIEnums: Enables populating "enum" fields of OpenAPI schemas in the spec returned from the API server.

PersistentVolumeLastPhaseTransitionTime: Adds a new field to PersistentVolume which holds a timestamp of when the volume last transitioned its phase.
PodAndContainerStatsFromCRI: Configure the kubelet to gather container and pod stats from the CRI container runtime rather than gathering them from cAdvisor. As of 1.26, this also includes gathering metrics from CRI and emitting them over /metrics/cadvisor (rather than having cAdvisor emit them directly).
PodDeletionCost: Enable the Pod Deletion Cost feature which allows users to influence ReplicaSet downscaling order.
PodDisruptionConditions: Enables support for appending a dedicated pod condition indicating that the pod is being deleted due to a disruption.
PodHostIPs: Enable the status.hostIPs field for pods and the downward API. The field lets you expose host IP addresses to workloads.

When this feature is enabled, requests using generateName are retried automatically in case the control plane detects a name conflict with an existing object, up to a limit of 8 total attempts.
RotateKubeletServerCertificate: Enable the rotation of the server TLS certificate on the kubelet. See kubelet configuration for more details.
RuntimeClassInImageCriApi: Enables images to be pulled based on the runtime class of the pods that reference them.
SchedulerQueueingHints: Enables the scheduler's queueing hints enhancement, which benefits to reduce the useless requeueing. The scheduler retries scheduling pods if something changes in the cluster that could make the pod scheduled. Queueing hints are internal signals that allow the scheduler to filter the changes in the cluster that are relevant to the unscheduled pod, based on previous scheduling attempts.
SELinuxMount:
Speeds up container startup by allowing kubelet to mount volumes for a Pod directly with the correct SELinux label instead of changing each file on the volumes recursively. It widens the performance improvements behind the SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod feature gate by extending the implementation to all volumes.

Enabling the SELinuxMount feature gate requires the feature gate SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod to be enabled.
SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod: Speeds up container startup by allowing kubelet to mount volumes for a Pod directly with the correct SELinux label instead of changing each file on the volumes recursively. The initial implementation focused on ReadWriteOncePod volumes.
SeparateTaintEvictionController: Enables running TaintEvictionController, that performs Taint-based Evictions, in a controller separated from NodeLifecycleController. When this feature is enabled, users can optionally disable Taint-based Eviction setting the --controllers=-taint-eviction-controller flag on the kube-controller-manager.
ServerSideApply: Enables the Sever Side Apply (SSA) feature on the API Server.
ServerSideFieldValidation: Enables server-side field validation. This means the validation of resource schema is performed at the API server side rather than the client side (for example, the kubectl create or kubectl apply command line).
ServiceAccountTokenJTI: Controls whether JTIs (UUIDs) are embedded into generated service account tokens, and whether these JTIs are recorded into the Kubernetes audit log for future requests made by these tokens.
ServiceAccountTokenNodeBinding: Controls whether the apiserver allows binding service account tokens to Node objects.
ServiceAccountTokenNodeBindingValidation: Controls whether the apiserver will validate a Node reference in service account tokens.

What's next

The deprecation policy for Kubernetes explains the project's approach to removing features and components.
Since Kubernetes 1.24, new beta APIs are not enabled by default. When enabling a beta feature, you will also need to enable any associated API resources. For example, to enable a particular resource like storage.k8s.io/v1beta1/csistoragecapacities, set --runtime-config=storage.k8s.io/v1beta1/csistoragecapacities. See API Versioning for more details on the command line flags.

2 - Feature Gates (removed)

This page contains list of feature gates that have been removed. The information on this page is for reference. A removed feature gate is different from a GA'ed or deprecated one in that a removed one is no longer recognized as a valid feature gate. However, a GA'ed or a deprecated feature gate is still recognized by the corresponding Kubernetes components although they are unable to cause any behavior differences in a cluster.

For feature gates that are still recognized by the Kubernetes components, please refer to the Alpha/Beta feature gate table or the Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table

Feature gates that are removed

In the following table:

The "From" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced or its release stage is changed.
The "To" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which you can still use a feature gate. If the feature stage is either "Deprecated" or "GA", the "To" column is the Kubernetes release when the feature is removed.

Descriptions for removed feature gates

Accelerators: Provided an early form of plugin to enable Nvidia GPU support when using Docker Engine; no longer available. See Device Plugins for an alternative.
AdvancedAuditing: Enable advanced auditing
AffinityInAnnotations: Enable setting Pod affinity or anti-affinity.
AllowExtTrafficLocalEndpoints: Enable a service to route external requests to node local endpoints.
AllowInsecureBackendProxy: Enable the users to skip TLS verification of kubelets on Pod log requests.
APISelfSubjectReview: Activate the SelfSubjectReview API which allows users to see the requesting subject's authentication information. See API access to authentication information for a client for more details.
AttachVolumeLimit: Enable volume plugins to report limits on number of volumes that can be attached to a node. See dynamic volume limits for more details.
BalanceAttachedNodeVolumes: Include volume count on node to be considered for balanced resource allocation while scheduling. A node which has closer CPU, memory utilization, and volume count is favored by the scheduler while making decisions.
BlockVolume: Enable the definition and consumption of raw block devices in Pods. See Raw Block Volume Support for more details.
BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume:
Migrate ServiceAccount volumes to use a projected volume consisting of a ServiceAccountTokenVolumeProjection. Cluster admins can use metric serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total to monitor workloads that are depending on the extended tokens. If there are no such workloads, turn off extended tokens by starting kube-apiserver with flag --service-account-extend-token-expiration=false.

Check Bound Service Account Tokens for more details.
ConfigurableFSGroupPolicy: Allows user to configure volume permission change policy for fsGroups when mounting a volume in a Pod. See Configure volume permission and ownership change policy for Pods for more details.
ControllerManagerLeaderMigration: Enables Leader Migration for kube-controller-manager and cloud-controller-manager which allows a cluster operator to live migrate controllers from the kube-controller-manager into an external controller-manager (e.g. the cloud-controller-manager) in an HA cluster without downtime.
CRIContainerLogRotation: Enable container log rotation for CRI container runtime. The default max size of a log file is 10MB and the default max number of log files allowed for a container is 5. These values can be configured in the kubelet config. See logging at node level for more details.

3 - kubelet

Synopsis

The kubelet is the primary "node agent" that runs on each node. It can register the node with the apiserver using one of: the hostname; a flag to override the hostname; or specific logic for a cloud provider.

The kubelet works in terms of a PodSpec. A PodSpec is a YAML or JSON object that describes a pod. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are provided through various mechanisms (primarily through the apiserver) and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are running and healthy. The kubelet doesn't manage containers which were not created by Kubernetes.

Other than from a PodSpec from the apiserver, there are two ways that a container manifest can be provided to the kubelet.

File: Path passed as a flag on the command line. Files under this path will be monitored periodically for updates. The monitoring period is 20s by default and is configurable via a flag.
HTTP endpoint: HTTP endpoint passed as a parameter on the command line. This endpoint is checked every 20 seconds (also configurable with a flag).

--goaway-chance float
	To prevent HTTP/2 clients from getting stuck on a single apiserver, randomly close a connection (GOAWAY). The client's other in-flight requests won't be affected, and the client will reconnect, likely landing on a different apiserver after going through the load balancer again. This argument sets the fraction of requests that will be sent a GOAWAY. Clusters with single apiservers, or which don't use a load balancer, should NOT enable this. Min is 0 (off), Max is .02 (1/50 requests); .001 (1/1000) is a recommended starting point.
-h, --help
	help for kube-apiserver
--http2-max-streams-per-connection int

	Maximum number of seconds between log flushes
--log-text-info-buffer-size quantity
	[Alpha] In text format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.

	This and --max-requests-inflight are summed to determine the server's total concurrency limit (which must be positive) if --enable-priority-and-fairness is true. Otherwise, this flag limits the maximum number of mutating requests in flight, or a zero value disables the limit completely.
--max-requests-inflight int Default: 400
	This and --max-mutating-requests-inflight are summed to determine the server's total concurrency limit (which must be positive) if --enable-priority-and-fairness is true. Otherwise, this flag limits the maximum number of non-mutating requests in flight, or a zero value disables the limit completely.
--min-request-timeout int Default: 1800
	An optional field indicating the minimum number of seconds a handler must keep a request open before timing it out. Currently only honored by the watch request handler, which picks a randomized value above this number as the connection timeout, to spread out load.

--oidc-signing-algs strings Default: "RS256"
	Comma-separated list of allowed JOSE asymmetric signing algorithms. JWTs with a supported 'alg' header values are: RS256, RS384, RS512, ES256, ES384, ES512, PS256, PS384, PS512. Values are defined by RFC 7518 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518#section-3.1.
--oidc-username-claim string Default: "sub"
	The OpenID claim to use as the user name. Note that claims other than the default ('sub') is not guaranteed to be unique and immutable. This flag is experimental, please see the authentication documentation for further details.
--oidc-username-prefix string
	If provided, all usernames will be prefixed with this value. If not provided, username claims other than 'email' are prefixed by the issuer URL to avoid clashes. To skip any prefixing, provide the value '-'.

	If set and the UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy feature gate is enabled, this IP will be used by peer kube-apiservers to proxy requests to this kube-apiserver when the request cannot be handled by the peer due to version skew between the kube-apiservers. This flag is only used in clusters configured with multiple kube-apiservers for high availability.
--peer-advertise-port string
	If set and the UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy feature gate is enabled, this port will be used by peer kube-apiservers to proxy requests to this kube-apiserver when the request cannot be handled by the peer due to version skew between the kube-apiservers. This flag is only used in clusters configured with multiple kube-apiservers for high availability.
--peer-ca-file string

--permit-address-sharing
	If true, SO_REUSEADDR will be used when binding the port. This allows binding to wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, and it avoids waiting for the kernel to release sockets in TIME_WAIT state. [default=false]
--permit-port-sharing
	If true, SO_REUSEPORT will be used when binding the port, which allows more than one instance to bind on the same address and port. [default=false]
--profiling Default: true
	Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/
--proxy-client-cert-file string
	Client certificate used to prove the identity of the aggregator or kube-apiserver when it must call out during a request. This includes proxying requests to a user api-server and calling out to webhook admission plugins. It is expected that this cert includes a signature from the CA in the --requestheader-client-ca-file flag. That CA is published in the 'extension-apiserver-authentication' configmap in the kube-system namespace. Components receiving calls from kube-aggregator should use that CA to perform their half of the mutual TLS verification.
--proxy-client-key-file string
	Private key for the client certificate used to prove the identity of the aggregator or kube-apiserver when it must call out during a request. This includes proxying requests to a user api-server and calling out to webhook admission plugins.
--request-timeout duration Default: 1m0s
	An optional field indicating the duration a handler must keep a request open before timing it out. This is the default request timeout for requests but may be overridden by flags such as --min-request-timeout for specific types of requests.

	A set of key=value pairs that enable or disable built-in APIs. Supported options are: v1=true\|false for the core API group <group>/<version>=true\|false for a specific API group and version (e.g. apps/v1=true) api/all=true\|false controls all API versions api/ga=true\|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+ api/beta=true\|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+beta[0-9]+ api/alpha=true\|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+alpha[0-9]+ api/legacy is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version
--secure-port int Default: 6443
	The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. It cannot be switched off with 0.
--service-account-extend-token-expiration Default: true
	Turns on projected service account expiration extension during token generation, which helps safe transition from legacy token to bound service account token feature. If this flag is enabled, admission injected tokens would be extended up to 1 year to prevent unexpected failure during transition, ignoring value of service-account-max-token-expiration.
--service-account-issuer strings
	Identifier of the service account token issuer. The issuer will assert this identifier in "iss" claim of issued tokens. This value is a string or URI. If this option is not a valid URI per the OpenID Discovery 1.0 spec, the ServiceAccountIssuerDiscovery feature will remain disabled, even if the feature gate is set to true. It is highly recommended that this value comply with the OpenID spec: https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-discovery-1_0.html. In practice, this means that service-account-issuer must be an https URL. It is also highly recommended that this URL be capable of serving OpenID discovery documents at {service-account-issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration. When this flag is specified multiple times, the first is used to generate tokens and all are used to determine which issuers are accepted.
--service-account-jwks-uri string
	Overrides the URI for the JSON Web Key Set in the discovery doc served at /.well-known/openid-configuration. This flag is useful if the discovery docand key set are served to relying parties from a URL other than the API server's external (as auto-detected or overridden with external-hostname).
--service-account-key-file strings
	File containing PEM-encoded x509 RSA or ECDSA private or public keys, used to verify ServiceAccount tokens. The specified file can contain multiple keys, and the flag can be specified multiple times with different files. If unspecified, --tls-private-key-file is used. Must be specified when --service-account-signing-key-file is provided
--service-account-lookup Default: true
	If true, validate ServiceAccount tokens exist in etcd as part of authentication.
--service-account-max-token-expiration duration

--service-account-signing-key-file string
	Path to the file that contains the current private key of the service account token issuer. The issuer will sign issued ID tokens with this private key.
--service-cluster-ip-range string
	A CIDR notation IP range from which to assign service cluster IPs. This must not overlap with any IP ranges assigned to nodes or pods. Max of two dual-stack CIDRs is allowed.

	A port range to reserve for services with NodePort visibility. This must not overlap with the ephemeral port range on nodes. Example: '30000-32767'. Inclusive at both ends of the range.
--show-hidden-metrics-for-version string
	The previous version for which you want to show hidden metrics. Only the previous minor version is meaningful, other values will not be allowed. The format is <major>.<minor>, e.g.: '1.16'. The purpose of this format is make sure you have the opportunity to notice if the next release hides additional metrics, rather than being surprised when they are permanently removed in the release after that.
--shutdown-delay-duration duration
	Time to delay the termination. During that time the server keeps serving requests normally. The endpoints /healthz and /livez will return success, but /readyz immediately returns failure. Graceful termination starts after this delay has elapsed. This can be used to allow load balancer to stop sending traffic to this server.
--shutdown-send-retry-after
	If true the HTTP Server will continue listening until all non long running request(s) in flight have been drained, during this window all incoming requests will be rejected with a status code 429 and a 'Retry-After' response header, in addition 'Connection: close' response header is set in order to tear down the TCP connection when idle.
--shutdown-watch-termination-grace-period duration
	This option, if set, represents the maximum amount of grace period the apiserver will wait for active watch request(s) to drain during the graceful server shutdown window.
--storage-backend string
	The storage backend for persistence. Options: 'etcd3' (default).
--storage-media-type string Default: "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf"
	The media type to use to store objects in storage. Some resources or storage backends may only support a specific media type and will ignore this setting. Supported media types: [application/json, application/yaml, application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf]
--strict-transport-security-directives strings
	List of directives for HSTS, comma separated. If this list is empty, then HSTS directives will not be added. Example: 'max-age=31536000,includeSubDomains,preload'
--tls-cert-file string
	File containing the default x509 Certificate for HTTPS. (CA cert, if any, concatenated after server cert). If HTTPS serving is enabled, and --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are not provided, a self-signed certificate and key are generated for the public address and saved to the directory specified by --cert-dir.
--tls-cipher-suites strings
	Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the server. If omitted, the default Go cipher suites will be used. Preferred values: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. Insecure values: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA.
--tls-min-version string
	Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13
--tls-private-key-file string
	File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.
--tls-sni-cert-key string
	A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suffixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted. Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain patterns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs, use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples: "example.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com".
--token-auth-file string
	If set, the file that will be used to secure the secure port of the API server via token authentication.
--tracing-config-file string
	File with apiserver tracing configuration.
-v, --v int
	number for the log level verbosity
--version version[=true]
	--version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
--vmodule pattern=N,...
	comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format)
--watch-cache Default: true
	Enable watch caching in the apiserver
--watch-cache-sizes strings
	Watch cache size settings for some resources (pods, nodes, etc.), comma separated. The individual setting format: resource[.group]#size, where resource is lowercase plural (no version), group is omitted for resources of apiVersion v1 (the legacy core API) and included for others, and size is a number. This option is only meaningful for resources built into the apiserver, not ones defined by CRDs or aggregated from external servers, and is only consulted if the watch-cache is enabled. The only meaningful size setting to supply here is zero, which means to disable watch caching for the associated resource; all non-zero values are equivalent and mean to not disable watch caching for that resource

5 - kube-controller-manager

Synopsis

The Kubernetes controller manager is a daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes. In applications of robotics and automation, a control loop is a non-terminating loop that regulates the state of the system. In Kubernetes, a controller is a control loop that watches the shared state of the cluster through the apiserver and makes changes attempting to move the current state towards the desired state. Examples of controllers that ship with Kubernetes today are the replication controller, endpoints controller, namespace controller, and serviceaccounts controller.

--tls-sni-cert-key string
	A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suffixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted. Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain patterns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs, use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples: "example.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com".

	comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format)

6 - kube-proxy

Synopsis

The Kubernetes network proxy runs on each node. This reflects services as defined in the Kubernetes API on each node and can do simple TCP, UDP, and SCTP stream forwarding or round robin TCP, UDP, and SCTP forwarding across a set of backends. Service cluster IPs and ports are currently found through Docker-links-compatible environment variables specifying ports opened by the service proxy. There is an optional addon that provides cluster DNS for these cluster IPs. The user must create a service with the apiserver API to configure the proxy.

kube-proxy [flags]

Options

--add_dir_header
	If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages
--alsologtostderr
	log to standard error as well as files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--bind-address string Default: 0.0.0.0
	Overrides kube-proxy's idea of what its node's primary IP is. Note that the name is a historical artifact, and kube-proxy does not actually bind any sockets to this IP. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified by --config.

--cleanup
	If true cleanup iptables and ipvs rules and exit.
--cluster-cidr string
	The CIDR range of the pods in the cluster. (For dual-stack clusters, this can be a comma-separated dual-stack pair of CIDR ranges.). When --detect-local-mode is set to ClusterCIDR, kube-proxy will consider traffic to be local if its source IP is in this range. (Otherwise it is not used.) This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified by --config.

7 - kube-scheduler

Synopsis

The Kubernetes scheduler is a control plane process which assigns Pods to Nodes. The scheduler determines which Nodes are valid placements for each Pod in the scheduling queue according to constraints and available resources. The scheduler then ranks each valid Node and binds the Pod to a suitable Node. Multiple different schedulers may be used within a cluster; kube-scheduler is the reference implementation. See scheduling for more information about scheduling and the kube-scheduler component.

kube-scheduler [flags]

Options

--allow-metric-labels stringToString Default: []
	The map from metric-label to value allow-list of this label. The key's format is <MetricName>,<LabelName>. The value's format is <allowed_value>,<allowed_value>...e.g. metric1,label1='v1,v2,v3', metric1,label2='v1,v2,v3' metric2,label1='v1,v2,v3'.
--allow-metric-labels-manifest string
	The path to the manifest file that contains the allow-list mapping. The format of the file is the same as the flag --allow-metric-labels. Note that the flag --allow-metric-labels will override the manifest file.
--authentication-kubeconfig string
	kubeconfig file pointing at the 'core' kubernetes server with enough rights to create tokenreviews.authentication.k8s.io. This is optional. If empty, all token requests are considered to be anonymous and no client CA is looked up in the cluster.
--authentication-skip-lookup
	If false, the authentication-kubeconfig will be used to lookup missing authentication configuration from the cluster.
--authentication-token-webhook-cache-ttl duration Default: 10s
	The duration to cache responses from the webhook token authenticator.
--authentication-tolerate-lookup-failure Default: true
	If true, failures to look up missing authentication configuration from the cluster are not considered fatal. Note that this can result in authentication that treats all requests as anonymous.
--authorization-always-allow-paths strings Default: "/healthz,/readyz,/livez"
	A list of HTTP paths to skip during authorization, i.e. these are authorized without contacting the 'core' kubernetes server.
--authorization-kubeconfig string
	kubeconfig file pointing at the 'core' kubernetes server with enough rights to create subjectaccessreviews.authorization.k8s.io. This is optional. If empty, all requests not skipped by authorization are forbidden.

	The IP address on which to listen for the --secure-port port. The associated interface(s) must be reachable by the rest of the cluster, and by CLI/web clients. If blank or an unspecified address (0.0.0.0 or ::), all interfaces and IP address families will be used.
--cert-dir string
	The directory where the TLS certs are located. If --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are provided, this flag will be ignored.
--client-ca-file string
	If set, any request presenting a client certificate signed by one of the authorities in the client-ca-file is authenticated with an identity corresponding to the CommonName of the client certificate.
--config string
	The path to the configuration file.
--contention-profiling Default: true
	DEPRECATED: enable block profiling, if profiling is enabled. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--disabled-metrics strings

--kube-api-burst int32 Default: 100
	DEPRECATED: burst to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--kube-api-content-type string Default: "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf"
	DEPRECATED: content type of requests sent to apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--kube-api-qps float Default: 50
	DEPRECATED: QPS to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--kubeconfig string
	DEPRECATED: path to kubeconfig file with authorization and master location information. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--leader-elect Default: true
	Start a leader election client and gain leadership before executing the main loop. Enable this when running replicated components for high availability.
--leader-elect-lease-duration duration Default: 15s
	The duration that non-leader candidates will wait after observing a leadership renewal until attempting to acquire leadership of a led but unrenewed leader slot. This is effectively the maximum duration that a leader can be stopped before it is replaced by another candidate. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.
--leader-elect-renew-deadline duration Default: 10s
	The interval between attempts by the acting master to renew a leadership slot before it stops leading. This must be less than the lease duration. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.
--leader-elect-resource-lock string Default: "leases"
	The type of resource object that is used for locking during leader election. Supported options are 'leases', 'endpointsleases' and 'configmapsleases'.
--leader-elect-resource-name string Default: "kube-scheduler"
	The name of resource object that is used for locking during leader election.
--leader-elect-resource-namespace string Default: "kube-system"
	The namespace of resource object that is used for locking during leader election.
--leader-elect-retry-period duration Default: 2s
	The duration the clients should wait between attempting acquisition and renewal of a leadership. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.
--log-flush-frequency duration Default: 5s
	Maximum number of seconds between log flushes
--log-text-info-buffer-size quantity
	[Alpha] In text format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
--log-text-split-stream
	[Alpha] In text format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.
--logging-format string Default: "text"
	Sets the log format. Permitted formats: "text".
--master string
	The address of the Kubernetes API server (overrides any value in kubeconfig)
--permit-address-sharing
	If true, SO_REUSEADDR will be used when binding the port. This allows binding to wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, and it avoids waiting for the kernel to release sockets in TIME_WAIT state. [default=false]
--permit-port-sharing
	If true, SO_REUSEPORT will be used when binding the port, which allows more than one instance to bind on the same address and port. [default=false]
--pod-max-in-unschedulable-pods-duration duration Default: 5m0s
	DEPRECATED: the maximum time a pod can stay in unschedulablePods. If a pod stays in unschedulablePods for longer than this value, the pod will be moved from unschedulablePods to backoffQ or activeQ. This flag is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
--profiling Default: true
	DEPRECATED: enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.
--requestheader-allowed-names strings
	List of client certificate common names to allow to provide usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers. If empty, any client certificate validated by the authorities in --requestheader-client-ca-file is allowed.
--requestheader-client-ca-file string
	Root certificate bundle to use to verify client certificates on incoming requests before trusting usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers. WARNING: generally do not depend on authorization being already done for incoming requests.
--requestheader-extra-headers-prefix strings Default: "x-remote-extra-"
	List of request header prefixes to inspect. X-Remote-Extra- is suggested.
--requestheader-group-headers strings Default: "x-remote-group"
	List of request headers to inspect for groups. X-Remote-Group is suggested.
--requestheader-username-headers strings Default: "x-remote-user"
	List of request headers to inspect for usernames. X-Remote-User is common.
--secure-port int Default: 10259
	The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. If 0, don't serve HTTPS at all.
--show-hidden-metrics-for-version string
	The previous version for which you want to show hidden metrics. Only the previous minor version is meaningful, other values will not be allowed. The format is <major>.<minor>, e.g.: '1.16'. The purpose of this format is make sure you have the opportunity to notice if the next release hides additional metrics, rather than being surprised when they are permanently removed in the release after that.
--tls-cert-file string
	File containing the default x509 Certificate for HTTPS. (CA cert, if any, concatenated after server cert). If HTTPS serving is enabled, and --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are not provided, a self-signed certificate and key are generated for the public address and saved to the directory specified by --cert-dir.
--tls-cipher-suites strings
	Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the server. If omitted, the default Go cipher suites will be used. Preferred values: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256. Insecure values: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA.
--tls-min-version string
	Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13
--tls-private-key-file string
	File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.
--tls-sni-cert-key string
	A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suffixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted. Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain patterns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs, use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples: "example.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com".
-v, --v int
	number for the log level verbosity
--version version[=true]
	--version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
--vmodule pattern=N,...
	comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format)
--write-config-to string
	If set, write the configuration values to this file and exit.
