Usage: kube-apiserver
The Kubernetes API server validates and configures data
for the api objects which include pods, services, replicationcontrollers, and
others. The API Server services REST operations and provides the frontend to the
cluster's shared state through which all other components interact.
Usage:
kube-apiserver [flags]
Generic flags:
--advertise-address ip
The IP address on which to advertise the apiserver to members of the cluster. This
address must be reachable by the rest of the cluster. If blank, the --bind-address will
be used. If --bind-address is unspecified, the host's default interface will be used.
--cloud-provider-gce-l7lb-src-cidrs cidrs
CIDRs opened in GCE firewall for L7 LB traffic proxy & health checks (default
130.211.0.0/22,35.191.0.0/16)
--cors-allowed-origins strings

expression to support subdomain matching. If this list is empty CORS will not be enabled.
--default-not-ready-toleration-seconds int
Indicates the tolerationSeconds of the toleration for notReady:NoExecute that is added
by default to every pod that does not already have such a toleration. (default 300)
--default-unreachable-toleration-seconds int
Indicates the tolerationSeconds of the toleration for unreachable:NoExecute that is
added by default to every pod that does not already have such a toleration. (default 300)
--enable-priority-and-fairness
If true and the APIPriorityAndFairness feature gate is enabled, replace the
max-in-flight handler with an enhanced one that queues and dispatches with priority and
fairness (default true)

--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.
--livez-grace-period duration
This option represents the maximum amount of time it should take for apiserver to
complete its startup sequence and become live. From apiserver's start time to when this
amount of time has elapsed, /livez will assume that unfinished post-start hooks will
complete successfully and therefore return true.
--max-mutating-requests-inflight int
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. (default 200)
--max-requests-inflight int
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. (default 400)
--min-request-timeout int
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. (default 1800)
--request-timeout duration
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. (default 1m0s)
--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.
--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'
Etcd flags:
--delete-collection-workers int
Number of workers spawned for DeleteCollection call. These are used to speed up
namespace cleanup. (default 1)
--enable-garbage-collector
Enables the generic garbage collector. MUST be synced with the corresponding flag of the
kube-controller-manager. (default true)
--encryption-provider-config string
The file containing configuration for encryption providers to be used for storing
secrets in etcd
--encryption-provider-config-automatic-reload
Determines if the file set by --encryption-provider-config should be automatically
reloaded if the disk contents change. Setting this to true disables the ability to
uniquely identify distinct KMS plugins via the API server healthz endpoints.
--etcd-cafile string
SSL Certificate Authority file used to secure etcd communication.
--etcd-certfile string
SSL certification file used to secure etcd communication.
--etcd-compaction-interval duration
The interval of compaction requests. If 0, the compaction request from apiserver is
disabled. (default 5m0s)
--etcd-count-metric-poll-period duration
Frequency of polling etcd for number of resources per type. 0 disables the metric
collection. (default 1m0s)
--etcd-db-metric-poll-interval duration
The interval of requests to poll etcd and update metric. 0 disables the metric
collection (default 30s)
--etcd-healthcheck-timeout duration
The timeout to use when checking etcd health. (default 2s)
--etcd-keyfile string
SSL key file used to secure etcd communication.
--etcd-prefix string
The prefix to prepend to all resource paths in etcd. (default "/registry")
--etcd-readycheck-timeout duration
The timeout to use when checking etcd readiness (default 2s)
--etcd-servers strings
List of etcd servers to connect with (scheme://ip:port), comma separated.
--etcd-servers-overrides strings
Per-resource etcd servers overrides, comma separated. The individual override format:
group/resource#servers, where servers are URLs, semicolon separated. Note that this
applies only to resources compiled into this server binary.
--lease-reuse-duration-seconds int
The time in seconds that each lease is reused. A lower value could avoid large number of
objects reusing the same lease. Notice that a too small value may cause performance
problems at storage layer. (default 60)
--storage-backend string
The storage backend for persistence. Options: 'etcd3' (default).
--storage-media-type string
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]
(default "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf")
--watch-cache
Enable watch caching in the apiserver (default true)
--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
Secure serving flags:
--bind-address ip
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 will be used. (default
0.0.0.0)
--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. (default
"/var/run/kubernetes")
--http2-max-streams-per-connection int
The limit that the server gives to clients for the maximum number of streams in an
HTTP/2 connection. Zero means to use golang's default.
--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]
--secure-port int
The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. It cannot be
switched off with 0. (default 6443)
--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,

VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13
--tls-private-key-file string
File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.
--tls-sni-cert-key namedCertKey
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". (default [])

--oidc-client-id string
The client ID for the OpenID Connect client, must be set if oidc-issuer-url is set.
--oidc-groups-claim string
If provided, the name of a custom OpenID Connect claim for specifying user groups. The
claim value is expected to be a string or array of strings. This flag is experimental,
please see the authentication documentation for further details.
--oidc-groups-prefix string
If provided, all groups will be prefixed with this value to prevent conflicts with other
authentication strategies.
--oidc-issuer-url string
The URL of the OpenID issuer, only HTTPS scheme will be accepted. If set, it will be
used to verify the OIDC JSON Web Token (JWT).
--oidc-required-claim mapStringString

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. (default true)
--service-account-issuer stringArray
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

qualified metric name in order to disable it. Disclaimer: disabling metrics is higher in
precedence than showing hidden metrics.
--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.
Logs flags:
--log-flush-frequency duration
Maximum number of seconds between log flushes (default 5s)
--log-json-info-buffer-size quantity

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

Usage: kube-controller-manager
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.
Usage:

--tls-sni-cert-key namedCertKey
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". (default [])
