Default: “10s”
nodeStatusReportFrequency
meta/v1.Duration
nodeStatusReportFrequency is the frequency that kubelet posts node status to master if node status does not change. Kubelet will ignore this frequency and post node status immediately if any change is detected. It is only used when node lease feature is enabled. nodeStatusReportFrequency’s default value is 1m. But if nodeStatusUpdateFrequency is set explicitly, nodeStatusReportFrequency’s default value will be set to nodeStatusUpdateFrequency for backward compatibility. Default: “1m”
nodeLeaseDurationSeconds
int32
nodeLeaseDurationSeconds is the duration the Kubelet will set on its corresponding Lease, when the NodeLease feature is enabled. This feature provides an indicator of node health by having the Kubelet create and periodically renew a lease, named after the node, in the kube-node-lease namespace. If the lease expires, the node can be considered unhealthy. The lease is currently renewed every 10s, per KEP-0009. In the future, the lease renewal interval may be set based on the lease duration. Requires the NodeLease feature gate to be enabled. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that decreasing the duration may reduce tolerance for issues that temporarily prevent the Kubelet from renewing the lease (e.g. a short-lived network issue).

Values: “promiscuous-bridge”: make the container bridge promiscuous. “hairpin-veth”: set the hairpin flag on container veth interfaces. “none”: do nothing. Generally, one must set —hairpin-mode=hairpin-veth to achieve hairpin NAT, because promiscuous-bridge assumes the existence of a container bridge named cbr0. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that it may require a node reboot, depending on the network plugin. Default: “promiscuous-bridge”
maxPods
int32
maxPods is the number of pods that can run on this Kubelet. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that changes may cause Pods to fail admission on Kubelet restart, and may change the value reported in Node.Status.Capacity[v1.ResourcePods], thus affecting future scheduling decisions. Increasing this value may also decrease performance, as more Pods can be packed into a single node. Default: 110

cpuCFSQuotaPeriod
meta/v1.Duration
CPUCFSQuotaPeriod is the CPU CFS quota period value, cpu.cfs_period_us. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that limits set for containers will result in different cpu.cfs_quota settings. This will trigger container restarts on the node being reconfigured. Default: “100ms”
nodeStatusMaxImages
int32
nodeStatusMaxImages caps the number of images reported in Node.Status.Images. Note: If -1 is specified, no cap will be applied. If 0 is specified, no image is returned. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that different values can be reported on node status. Default: 50

evictionMaxPodGracePeriod
int32
Maximum allowed grace period (in seconds) to use when terminating pods in response to a soft eviction threshold being met. This value effectively caps the Pod’s TerminationGracePeriodSeconds value during soft evictions. Note: Due to issue #64530, the behavior has a bug where this value currently just overrides the grace period during soft eviction, which can increase the grace period from what is set on the Pod. This bug will be fixed in a future release. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that lowering it decreases the amount of time Pods will have to gracefully clean up before being killed during a soft eviction. Default: 0

Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider the documentation for the features you are enabling or disabling. While we encourage feature developers to make it possible to dynamically enable and disable features, some changes may require node reboots, and some features may require careful coordination to retroactively disable. Default: nil
failSwapOn
bool
failSwapOn tells the Kubelet to fail to start if swap is enabled on the node. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that setting it to true will cause the Kubelet to crash-loop if swap is enabled. Default: true

kubeReserved
map[string]string
A set of ResourceName=ResourceQuantity (e.g. cpu=200m,memory=150G) pairs that describe resources reserved for kubernetes system components. Currently cpu, memory and local storage for root file system are supported. See http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/compute-resources for more detail. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that it may not be possible to increase the reserved resources, because this requires resizing cgroups. Always look for a NodeAllocatableEnforced event after updating this field to ensure that the update was successful. Default: nil
reservedSystemCPUs [Required]
string
This ReservedSystemCPUs option specifies the cpu list reserved for the host level system threads and kubernetes related threads.

If none is specified, no other options may be specified. Refer to Node Allocatable doc for more information. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that removing enforcements may reduce the stability of the node. Alternatively, adding enforcements may reduce the stability of components which were using more than the reserved amount of resources; for example, enforcing kube-reserved may cause Kubelets to OOM if it uses more than the reserved resources, and enforcing system-reserved may cause system daemons to OOM if they use more than the reserved resources. Default: [“pods”]
allowedUnsafeSysctls
[]string

Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact the way Kubelet interacts with the kernel. Default: false
logging [Required]
LoggingConfiguration
Logging specifies the options of logging. Refer Logs Options for more information. Defaults: Format: text
enableSystemLogHandler
bool
enableSystemLogHandler enables system logs via web interface host:port/logs/ Default: true
shutdownGracePeriod
meta/v1.Duration
ShutdownGracePeriod specifies the total duration that the node should delay the shutdown and total grace period for pod termination during a node shutdown. Default: “30s”
shutdownGracePeriodCriticalPods
meta/v1.Duration
ShutdownGracePeriodCriticalPods specifies the duration used to terminate critical pods during a node shutdown. This should be less than ShutdownGracePeriod. For example, if ShutdownGracePeriod=30s, and ShutdownGracePeriodCriticalPods=10s, during a node shutdown the first 20 seconds would be reserved for gracefully terminating normal pods, and the last 10 seconds would be reserved for terminating critical pods. Default: “10s”

SerializedNodeConfigSource

SerializedNodeConfigSource allows us to serialize v1.NodeConfigSource. This type is used internally by the Kubelet for tracking checkpointed dynamic configs. It exists in the kubeletconfig API group because it is classified as a versioned input to the Kubelet.

FieldDescription
apiVersion
string
kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind
string
SerializedNodeConfigSource
source
core/v1.NodeConfigSource
Source is the source that we are serializing

HairpinMode

(Alias of string)

HairpinMode denotes how the kubelet should configure networking to handle hairpin packets.

KubeletAnonymousAuthentication

Appears in:

FieldDescription
enabled
bool
enabled allows anonymous requests to the kubelet server. Requests that are not rejected by another authentication method are treated as anonymous requests. Anonymous requests have a username of system:anonymous, and a group name of system:unauthenticated.

KubeletAuthentication

Appears in:

FieldDescription
x509
KubeletX509Authentication
x509 contains settings related to x509 client certificate authentication
webhook
KubeletWebhookAuthentication
webhook contains settings related to webhook bearer token authentication
anonymous
KubeletAnonymousAuthentication
anonymous contains settings related to anonymous authentication

KubeletAuthorization

Appears in:

FieldDescription
mode
KubeletAuthorizationMode
mode is the authorization mode to apply to requests to the kubelet server. Valid values are AlwaysAllow and Webhook. Webhook mode uses the SubjectAccessReview API to determine authorization.
webhook
KubeletWebhookAuthorization
webhook contains settings related to Webhook authorization.

KubeletAuthorizationMode

(Alias of string)

Appears in:

KubeletWebhookAuthentication

Appears in:

FieldDescription
enabled
bool
enabled allows bearer token authentication backed by the tokenreviews.authentication.k8s.io API
cacheTTL
meta/v1.Duration
cacheTTL enables caching of authentication results

KubeletWebhookAuthorization

Appears in:

FieldDescription
cacheAuthorizedTTL
meta/v1.Duration
cacheAuthorizedTTL is the duration to cache ‘authorized’ responses from the webhook authorizer.
cacheUnauthorizedTTL
meta/v1.Duration
cacheUnauthorizedTTL is the duration to cache ‘unauthorized’ responses from the webhook authorizer.

KubeletX509Authentication

Appears in:

FieldDescription
clientCAFile
string
clientCAFile is the path to a PEM-encoded certificate bundle. If set, any request presenting a client certificate signed by one of the authorities in the bundle is authenticated with a username corresponding to the CommonName, and groups corresponding to the Organization in the client certificate.

ResourceChangeDetectionStrategy

(Alias of string)

Appears in:

ResourceChangeDetectionStrategy denotes a mode in which internal managers (secret, configmap) are discovering object changes.

LoggingConfiguration

Appears in:

LoggingConfiguration contains logging options Refer Logs Options for more information.

FieldDescription
format [Required]
string
Format Flag specifies the structure of log messages. default value of format is text
sanitization [Required]
bool
[Experimental] When enabled prevents logging of fields tagged as sensitive (passwords, keys, tokens). Runtime log sanitization may introduce significant computation overhead and therefore should not be enabled in production.`)
