NAME

kube-controller-manager -

SYNOPSIS

kube-controller-manager [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

--allocate-node-cidrs=false
    Should CIDRs for Pods be allocated and set on the cloud provider.

--allow-metric-labels=[]
    The map from metric-label to value allow-list of this label. The key's format is ,. The value's format is ,...e.g. metric1,label1='v1,v2,v3', metric1,label2='v1,v2,v3' metric2,label1='v1,v2,v3'.

--allow-untagged-cloud=false
    Allow the cluster to run without the cluster-id on cloud instances. This is a legacy mode of operation and a cluster-id will be required in the future.

--attach-detach-reconcile-sync-period=1m0s
    The reconciler sync wait time between volume attach detach. This duration must be larger than one second, and increasing this value from the default may allow for volumes to be mismatched with pods.

--authentication-kubeconfig=""
    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=false
    If false, the authentication-kubeconfig will be used to lookup missing authentication configuration from the cluster.

--authentication-token-webhook-cache-ttl=10s
    The duration to cache responses from the webhook token authenticator.

--authentication-tolerate-lookup-failure=false
    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=[/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=""
    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.

--authorization-webhook-cache-authorized-ttl=10s
    The duration to cache 'authorized' responses from the webhook authorizer.

--authorization-webhook-cache-unauthorized-ttl=10s
    The duration to cache 'unauthorized' responses from the webhook authorizer.

    Path to the file containing Azure container registry configuration information.

--bind-address=0.0.0.0
    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.

--tls-cipher-suites=[]
    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, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384. 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_SHA256, TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA.

--tls-min-version=""
    Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13

--tls-private-key-file=""
    File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.

--tls-sni-cert-key=[]
    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".

--unhealthy-zone-threshold=0.55
    Fraction of Nodes in a zone which needs to be not Ready (minimum 3) for zone to be treated as unhealthy.

--use-service-account-credentials=false
    If true, use individual service account credentials for each controller.

-v, --v=0
    number for the log level verbosity

--version=false
    Print version information and quit

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

--volume-host-allow-local-loopback=true
    If false, deny local loopback IPs in addition to any CIDR ranges in --volume-host-cidr-denylist

--volume-host-cidr-denylist=[]
    A comma-separated list of CIDR ranges to avoid from volume plugins.
