kube-apiserver
Synopsis
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.

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 | |

|
| --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.

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.

| --service-node-port-range <a string in the form 'N1-N2'> Default: 30000-32767 | |
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. |
|
| --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 |
