FieldDescription
apiVersion
string		kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind
string		KubeletConfiguration
enableServer [Required]
bool		enableServer enables Kubelet’s secured server. Note: Kubelet’s insecure port is controlled by the readOnlyPort option. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: true
staticPodPath
string		staticPodPath is the path to the directory containing local (static) pods to run, or the path to a single static pod file. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that the set of static pods specified at the new path may be different than the ones the Kubelet initially started with, and this may disrupt your node. Default: “”
syncFrequency
meta/v1.Duration		syncFrequency is the max period between synchronizing running containers and config. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that shortening this duration may have a negative performance impact, especially as the number of Pods on the node increases.

fileCheckFrequency
meta/v1.Duration		fileCheckFrequency is the duration between checking config files for new data. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that shortening the duration will cause the Kubelet to reload local Static Pod configurations more frequently, which may have a negative performance impact. Default: “20s”
httpCheckFrequency
meta/v1.Duration		httpCheckFrequency is the duration between checking http for new data. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that shortening the duration will cause the Kubelet to poll staticPodURL more frequently, which may have a negative performance impact. Default: “20s”
staticPodURL
string		staticPodURL is the URL for accessing static pods to run. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that the set of static pods specified at the new URL may be different than the ones the Kubelet initially started with, and this may disrupt your node. Default: “”
staticPodURLHeader
map[string][]string		staticPodURLHeader is a map of slices with HTTP headers to use when accessing the podURL. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt the ability to read the latest set of static pods from StaticPodURL. Default: nil
address
string		address is the IP address for the Kubelet to serve on (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces). If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: “0.0.0.0”
port
int32		port is the port for the Kubelet to serve on. The port number must be between 1 and 65535, inclusive. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: 10250

Setting this field to 0 disables the read-only service. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: 0 (disabled)
tlsCertFile
string		tlsCertFile is the file containing x509 Certificate for HTTPS. (CA cert, if any, concatenated after server cert). If tlsCertFile and tlsPrivateKeyFile are not provided, a self-signed certificate and key are generated for the public address and saved to the directory passed to the Kubelet’s —cert-dir flag. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: “”
tlsPrivateKeyFile
string		tlsPrivateKeyFile is the file containing x509 private key matching tlsCertFile. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: “”

string		tlsMinVersion is the minimum TLS version supported. Values are from tls package constants (https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#pkg-constants). If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: “”
rotateCertificates
bool		rotateCertificates enables client certificate rotation. The Kubelet will request a new certificate from the certificates.k8s.io API. This requires an approver to approve the certificate signing requests. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that disabling it may disrupt the Kubelet’s ability to authenticate with the API server after the current certificate expires. Default: false
serverTLSBootstrap
bool		serverTLSBootstrap enables server certificate bootstrap. Instead of self signing a serving certificate, the Kubelet will request a certificate from the ‘certificates.k8s.io’ API. This requires an approver to approve the certificate signing requests (CSR). The RotateKubeletServerCertificate feature must be enabled when setting this field. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that disabling it will stop the renewal of Kubelet server certificates, which can disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server in the long term, due to certificate expiration. Default: false

bool		enableDebuggingHandlers enables server endpoints for log access and local running of containers and commands, including the exec, attach, logs, and portforward features. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that disabling it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: true
enableContentionProfiling
bool		enableContentionProfiling enables lock contention profiling, if enableDebuggingHandlers is true. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that enabling it may carry a performance impact. Default: false
healthzPort
int32		healthzPort is the port of the localhost healthz endpoint (set to 0 to disable). A valid number is between 1 and 65535. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that monitor Kubelet health. Default: 10248

clusterDomain
string		clusterDomain is the DNS domain for this cluster. If set, kubelet will configure all containers to search this domain in addition to the host’s search domains. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): Dynamically updating this field is not recommended, as it should be kept in sync with the rest of the cluster. Default: “”
clusterDNS
[]string		clusterDNS is a list of IP addresses for the cluster DNS server. If set, kubelet will configure all containers to use this for DNS resolution instead of the host’s DNS servers. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that changes will only take effect on Pods created after the update. Draining the node is recommended before changing this field. Default: nil

meta/v1.Duration		streamingConnectionIdleTimeout is the maximum time a streaming connection can be idle before the connection is automatically closed. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact components that rely on infrequent updates over streaming connections to the Kubelet server. Default: “4h”
nodeStatusUpdateFrequency
meta/v1.Duration		nodeStatusUpdateFrequency is the frequency that kubelet computes node status. If node lease feature is not enabled, it is also the frequency that kubelet posts node status to master. Note: When node lease feature is not enabled, be cautious when changing the constant, it must work with nodeMonitorGracePeriod in nodecontroller. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact node scalability, and also that the node controller’s nodeMonitorGracePeriod must be set to N∗NodeStatusUpdateFrequency, where N is the number of retries before the node controller marks the node unhealthy. 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 5m. But if nodeStatusUpdateFrequency is set explicitly, nodeStatusReportFrequency’s default value will be set to nodeStatusUpdateFrequency for backward compatibility. Default: “5m”
nodeLeaseDurationSeconds
int32		nodeLeaseDurationSeconds is the duration the Kubelet will set on its corresponding Lease. NodeLease 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. The field value must be greater than 0. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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). Default: 40
imageMinimumGCAge
meta/v1.Duration		imageMinimumGCAge is the minimum age for an unused image before it is garbage collected. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may trigger or delay garbage collection, and may change the image overhead on the node. Default: “2m”
imageGCHighThresholdPercent
int32		imageGCHighThresholdPercent is the percent of disk usage after which image garbage collection is always run. The percent is calculated by dividing this field value by 100, so this field must be between 0 and 100, inclusive. When specified, the value must be greater than imageGCLowThresholdPercent. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may trigger or delay garbage collection, and may change the image overhead on the node. Default: 85
imageGCLowThresholdPercent
int32		imageGCLowThresholdPercent is the percent of disk usage before which image garbage collection is never run. Lowest disk usage to garbage collect to. The percent is calculated by dividing this field value by 100, so the field value must be between 0 and 100, inclusive. When specified, the value must be less than imageGCHighThresholdPercent. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may trigger or delay garbage collection, and may change the image overhead on the node. Default: 80
volumeStatsAggPeriod
meta/v1.Duration		volumeStatsAggPeriod is the frequency for calculating and caching volume disk usage for all pods. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that shortening the period may carry a performance impact. Default: “1m”

Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: true
cgroupDriver
string		cgroupDriver is the driver kubelet uses to manipulate CGroups on the host (cgroupfs or systemd). Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: “cgroupfs”
cpuManagerPolicy
string		cpuManagerPolicy is the name of the policy to use. Requires the CPUManager feature gate to be enabled. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: “None”

map[string]string		cpuManagerPolicyOptions is a set of key=value which allows to set extra options to fine tune the behaviour of the cpu manager policies. Requires both the “CPUManager” and “CPUManagerPolicyOptions” feature gates to be enabled. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: nil
cpuManagerReconcilePeriod
meta/v1.Duration		cpuManagerReconcilePeriod is the reconciliation period for the CPU Manager. Requires the CPUManager feature gate to be enabled. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that shortening the period may carry a performance impact. Default: “10s”

string		topologyManagerScope represents the scope of topology hint generation that topology manager requests and hint providers generate. Valid values include:
  • container: topology policy is applied on a per-container basis.
  • pod: topology policy is applied on a per-pod basis.

“pod” scope requires the TopologyManager feature gate to be enabled. Default: “container”

qosReserved
map[string]string		qosReserved is a set of resource name to percentage pairs that specify the minimum percentage of a resource reserved for exclusive use by the guaranteed QoS tier. Currently supported resources: “memory” Requires the QOSReserved feature gate to be enabled. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: nil
runtimeRequestTimeout
meta/v1.Duration		runtimeRequestTimeout is the timeout for all runtime requests except long running requests - pull, logs, exec and attach. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may disrupt components that interact with the Kubelet server. Default: “2m”
hairpinMode
string		hairpinMode specifies how the Kubelet should configure the container bridge for hairpin packets. Setting this flag allows endpoints in a Service to loadbalance back to themselves if they should try to access their own Service. 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. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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 maximum number of Pods that can run on this Kubelet. The value must be a non-negative integer. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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
podCIDR
string		podCIDR is the CIDR to use for pod IP addresses, only used in standalone mode. In cluster mode, this is obtained from the control plane. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should always be set to the empty default. It should only set for standalone Kubelets, which cannot use Dynamic Kubelet Config. Default: “”
podPidsLimit
int64		podPidsLimit is the maximum number of PIDs in any pod. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that lowering it may prevent container processes from forking after the change. Default: -1
resolvConf
string		resolvConf is the resolver configuration file used as the basis for the container DNS resolution configuration. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that changes will only take effect on Pods created after the update.

cpuCFSQuotaPeriod
meta/v1.Duration		cpuCFSQuotaPeriod is the CPU CFS quota period value, cpu.cfs_period_us. The value must be between 1 us and 1 second, inclusive. Requires the CustomCPUCFSQuotaPeriod feature gate to be enabled. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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. The value must be greater than -2. Note: If -1 is specified, no cap will be applied. If 0 is specified, no image is returned. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that different values can be reported on node status. Default: 50
maxOpenFiles
int64		maxOpenFiles is Number of files that can be opened by Kubelet process. The value must be a non-negative number. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact the ability of the Kubelet to interact with the node’s filesystem. Default: 1000000
contentType
string		contentType is contentType of requests sent to apiserver. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact the ability for the Kubelet to communicate with the API server. If the Kubelet loses contact with the API server due to a change to this field, the change cannot be reverted via dynamic Kubelet config. Default: “application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf”
kubeAPIQPS
int32		kubeAPIQPS is the QPS to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact scalability by changing the amount of traffic the Kubelet sends to the API server. Default: 5
kubeAPIBurst
int32		kubeAPIBurst is the burst to allow while talking with kubernetes API server. This field cannot be a negative number. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact scalability by changing the amount of traffic the Kubelet sends to the API server. Default: 10
serializeImagePulls
bool		serializeImagePulls when enabled, tells the Kubelet to pull images one at a time. We recommend ∗not∗ changing the default value on nodes that run docker daemon with version < 1.9 or an Aufs storage backend. Issue #10959 has more details. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact the performance of image pulls. Default: true
evictionHard
map[string]string		evictionHard is a map of signal names to quantities that defines hard eviction thresholds. For example: {"memory.available": "300Mi"}. To explicitly disable, pass a 0% or 100% threshold on an arbitrary resource. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may trigger or delay Pod evictions. Default: memory.available: “100Mi” nodefs.available: “10%” nodefs.inodesFree: “5%” imagefs.available: “15%”
evictionSoft
map[string]string		evictionSoft is a map of signal names to quantities that defines soft eviction thresholds. For example: {"memory.available": "300Mi"}.

evictionPressureTransitionPeriod
meta/v1.Duration		evictionPressureTransitionPeriod is the duration for which the kubelet has to wait before transitioning out of an eviction pressure condition. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that lowering it may decrease the stability of the node when the node is overcommitted. Default: “5m”
evictionMaxPodGracePeriod
int32		evictionMaxPodGracePeriod is the 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. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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
evictionMinimumReclaim
map[string]string		evictionMinimumReclaim is a map of signal names to quantities that defines minimum reclaims, which describe the minimum amount of a given resource the kubelet will reclaim when performing a pod eviction while that resource is under pressure. For example: {"imagefs.available": "2Gi"}. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may change how well eviction can manage resource pressure. Default: nil
podsPerCore
int32		podsPerCore is the maximum number of pods per core. Cannot exceed maxPods. The value must be a non-negative integer. If 0, there is no limit on the number of Pods. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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.pods, thus affecting future scheduling decisions. Increasing this value may also decrease performance, as more Pods can be packed into a single node. Default: 0
enableControllerAttachDetach
bool		enableControllerAttachDetach enables the Attach/Detach controller to manage attachment/detachment of volumes scheduled to this node, and disables kubelet from executing any attach/detach operations. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that changing which component is responsible for volume management on a live node may result in volumes refusing to detach if the node is not drained prior to the update, and if Pods are scheduled to the node before the volumes.kubernetes.io/controller-managed-attach-detach annotation is updated by the Kubelet. In general, it is safest to leave this value set the same as local config. Default: true
protectKernelDefaults
bool		protectKernelDefaults, if true, causes the Kubelet to error if kernel flags are not as it expects. Otherwise the Kubelet will attempt to modify kernel flags to match its expectation. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that enabling it may cause the Kubelet to crash-loop if the Kernel is not configured as Kubelet expects. Default: false
makeIPTablesUtilChains
bool		makeIPTablesUtilChains, if true, causes the Kubelet ensures a set of iptables rules are present on host. These rules will serve as utility rules for various components, e.g. kube-proxy. The rules will be created based on iptablesMasqueradeBit and iptablesDropBit. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that disabling it will prevent the Kubelet from healing locally misconfigured iptables rules. Default: true
iptablesMasqueradeBit
int32		iptablesMasqueradeBit is the bit of the iptables fwmark space to mark for SNAT. Values must be within the range [0, 31]. Must be different from other mark bits. Warning: Please match the value of the corresponding parameter in kube-proxy. TODO: clean up IPTablesMasqueradeBit in kube-proxy. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it needs to be coordinated with other components, like kube-proxy, and the update will only be effective if MakeIPTablesUtilChains is enabled. Default: 14
iptablesDropBit
int32		iptablesDropBit is the bit of the iptables fwmark space to mark for dropping packets. Values must be within the range [0, 31]. Must be different from other mark bits. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it needs to be coordinated with other components, like kube-proxy, and the update will only be effective if MakeIPTablesUtilChains is enabled. Default: 15
featureGates
map[string]bool		featureGates is a map of feature names to bools that enable or disable experimental features. This field modifies piecemeal the built-in default values from “k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/features/kube_features.go”. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that setting it to true will cause the Kubelet to crash-loop if swap is enabled. Default: true
memorySwap
MemorySwapConfiguration		memorySwap configures swap memory available to container workloads.
containerLogMaxSize
string		containerLogMaxSize is a quantity defining the maximum size of the container log file before it is rotated. For example: “5Mi” or “256Ki”.

containerLogMaxFiles
int32		containerLogMaxFiles specifies the maximum number of container log files that can be present for a container. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that lowering it may cause log files to be deleted. Default: 5
configMapAndSecretChangeDetectionStrategy
ResourceChangeDetectionStrategy		configMapAndSecretChangeDetectionStrategy is a mode in which ConfigMap and Secret managers are running. Valid values include:
  • Get: kubelet fetches necessary objects directly from the API server;
  • Cache: kubelet uses TTL cache for object fetched from the API server;
  • Watch: kubelet uses watches to observe changes to objects that are in its interest.

Default: “Watch”

systemReserved
map[string]string		systemReserved is a set of ResourceName=ResourceQuantity (e.g. cpu=200m,memory=150G) pairs that describe resources reserved for non-kubernetes components. Currently only cpu and memory are supported. See http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/compute-resources for more detail. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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
kubeReserved
map[string]string		kubeReserved is 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 https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/ for more details. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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		The reservedSystemCPUs option specifies the CPU list reserved for the host level system threads and kubernetes related threads. This provide a “static” CPU list rather than the “dynamic” list by systemReserved and kubeReserved. This option does not support systemReservedCgroup or kubeReservedCgroup.
showHiddenMetricsForVersion
string		showHiddenMetricsForVersion is 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. Default: “”
systemReservedCgroup
string		systemReservedCgroup helps the kubelet identify absolute name of top level CGroup used to enforce systemReserved compute resource reservation for OS system daemons. Refer to Node Allocatable doc for more information. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: “”
kubeReservedCgroup
string		kubeReservedCgroup helps the kubelet identify absolute name of top level CGroup used to enforce KubeReserved compute resource reservation for Kubernetes node system daemons. Refer to Node Allocatable doc for more information. Dynamic Kubelet Config (deprecated): This field should not be updated without a full node reboot. It is safest to keep this value the same as the local config. Default: “”
enforceNodeAllocatable
[]string		This flag specifies the various Node Allocatable enforcements that Kubelet needs to perform. This flag accepts a list of options. Acceptable options are none, pods, system-reserved and kube-reserved. If none is specified, no other options may be specified. When system-reserved is in the list, systemReservedCgroup must be specified. When kube-reserved is in the list, kubeReservedCgroup must be specified. This field is supported only when cgroupsPerQOS is set to true. Refer to Node Allocatable for more information. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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		A comma separated whitelist of unsafe sysctls or sysctl patterns (ending in ∗). Unsafe sysctl groups are kernel.shm∗, kernel.msg∗, kernel.sem, fs.mqueue.∗, and net.∗. For example: “kernel.msg∗,net.ipv4.route.min_pmtu“ Default: []
volumePluginDir
string		volumePluginDir is the full path of the directory in which to search for additional third party volume plugins. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that changing the volumePluginDir may disrupt workloads relying on third party volume plugins. Default: “/usr/libexec/kubernetes/kubelet-plugins/volume/exec/“
providerID
string		providerID, if set, sets the unique ID of the instance that an external provider (i.e. cloudprovider) can use to identify a specific node. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when dynamically updating this field, consider that it may impact the ability of the Kubelet to interact with cloud providers. Default: “”
kernelMemcgNotification
bool		kernelMemcgNotification, if set, instructs the the kubelet to integrate with the kernel memcg notification for determining if memory eviction thresholds are exceeded rather than polling. If DynamicKubeletConfig (deprecated; default off) is on, when 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 to Logs Options for more information. Default: 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: “0s”
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: “0s”
shutdownGracePeriodByPodPriority
[]ShutdownGracePeriodByPodPriority		shutdownGracePeriodByPodPriority specifies the shutdown grace period for Pods based on their associated priority class value. When a shutdown request is received, the Kubelet will initiate shutdown on all pods running on the node with a grace period that depends on the priority of the pod, and then wait for all pods to exit. Each entry in the array represents the graceful shutdown time a pod with a priority class value that lies in the range of that value and the next higher entry in the list when the node is shutting down. For example, to allow critical pods 10s to shutdown, priority>=10000 pods 20s to shutdown, and all remaining pods 30s to shutdown.

shutdownGracePeriodByPodPriority:

  • priority: 2000000000 shutdownGracePeriodSeconds: 10
  • priority: 10000 shutdownGracePeriodSeconds: 20
  • priority: 0 shutdownGracePeriodSeconds: 30

The time the Kubelet will wait before exiting will at most be the maximum of all shutdownGracePeriodSeconds for each priority class range represented on the node. When all pods have exited or reached their grace periods, the Kubelet will release the shutdown inhibit lock. Requires the GracefulNodeShutdown feature gate to be enabled. This configuration must be empty if either ShutdownGracePeriod or ShutdownGracePeriodCriticalPods is set. Default: nil

reservedMemory
[]MemoryReservation		reservedMemory specifies a comma-separated list of memory reservations for NUMA nodes. The parameter makes sense only in the context of the memory manager feature. The memory manager will not allocate reserved memory for container workloads. For example, if you have a NUMA0 with 10Gi of memory and the reservedMemory was specified to reserve 1Gi of memory at NUMA0, the memory manager will assume that only 9Gi is available for allocation. You can specify a different amount of NUMA node and memory types. You can omit this parameter at all, but you should be aware that the amount of reserved memory from all NUMA nodes should be equal to the amount of memory specified by the node allocatable. If at least one node allocatable parameter has a non-zero value, you will need to specify at least one NUMA node. Also, avoid specifying:
  1. Duplicates, the same NUMA node, and memory type, but with a different value.
  2. zero limits for any memory type.
  3. NUMAs nodes IDs that do not exist under the machine.
  4. memory types except for memory and hugepages-

Default: nil

enableProfilingHandler
bool		enableProfilingHandler enables profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/ Default: true
enableDebugFlagsHandler
bool		enableDebugFlagsHandler enables flags endpoint via web interface host:port/debug/flags/v Default: true
seccompDefault
bool		SeccompDefault enables the use of RuntimeDefault as the default seccomp profile for all workloads. This requires the corresponding SeccompDefault feature gate to be enabled as well. Default: false
memoryThrottlingFactor
float64		MemoryThrottlingFactor specifies the factor multiplied by the memory limit or node allocatable memory when setting the cgroupv2 memory.high value to enforce MemoryQoS. Decreasing this factor will set lower high limit for container cgroups and put heavier reclaim pressure while increasing will put less reclaim pressure. See http://kep.k8s.io/2570 for more details. Default: 0.8
registerWithTaints
[]core/v1.Taint		registerWithTaints are an array of taints to add to a node object when the kubelet registers itself. This only takes effect when registerNode is true and upon the initial registration of the node. Default: nil
registerNode
bool		registerNode enables automatic registration with the apiserver. Default: true

SerializedNodeConfigSource
