16 The Kubernetes API server validates and configures data for the api
17 objects which include pods, services, replicationcontrollers, and oth‐
18 ers. The API Server services REST operations and provides the frontend
19 to the cluster's shared state through which all other components inter‐
20 act.

328 --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.

383 --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.
384 --oidc-groups-prefix string If provided, all groups will be prefixed with this value to prevent conflicts with other authentication strategies.
385 --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).
386 --oidc-required-claim mapStringString A key=value pair that describes a required claim in the ID Token. If set, the claim is verified to be present in the ID Token with a matching value. Repeat this flag to specify multiple claims.
387
388
389
390 --oidc-signing-algs strings
391 Comma-separated list of allowed JOSE asymmetric signing algorithms.
392 JWTs with a 'alg' header value not in this list will be rejected. Val‐
393 ues are defined by RFC 7518 https
394 //tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7518#section-3.1. (default [RS256])
395
396
397 --oidc-username-claim string The OpenID claim to use as the user name. Note that claims other than the default ('sub') is not guaranteed to be unique and immutable. This flag is experimental, please see the authentication documentation for further details. (default "sub")
398 --oidc-username-prefix string If provided, all usernames will be prefixed with this value. If not provided, username claims other than 'email' are prefixed by the issuer URL to avoid clashes. To skip any prefixing, provide the value '-'.
399
400
401
402 --port int
403 The port on which to serve unsecured, unauthenticated access. Set to 0
404 to disable. (default 8080) (DEPRECATED see --secure-port
405 instead.)
406
407
408 --profiling
409 Enable profiling via web interface host port/debug/pprof/ (default
410 true)
411
412
413 --proxy-client-cert-file string Client certificate used to prove the identity of the aggregator or kube-apiserver when 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.
414 --proxy-client-key-file string Private key for the client certificate used to prove the identity of the aggregator or kube-apiserver when it must call out during a request. This includes proxying requests to a user api-server and calling out to webhook admission plugins.
415 --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)
416 --requestheader-allowed-names strings List of client certificate common names to allow to provide usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers. If empty, any client certificate validated by the authorities in --requestheader-client-ca-file is allowed.
417
418
419
420 --requestheader-client-ca-file string
421 Root certificate bundle to use to verify client certificates on incom‐
422 ing requests before trusting usernames in headers specified by
423 --requestheader-username-headers. WARNING generally do not depend
424 on authorization being already done for incoming requests.
425
426
427 --requestheader-extra-headers-prefix strings List of request header prefixes to inspect. X-Remote-Extra- is suggested.
428 --requestheader-group-headers strings List of request headers to inspect for groups. X-Remote-Group is suggested.

430
431
432
433 --runtime-config mapStringString
434 A set of key=value pairs that enable or disable built-in APIs. Sup‐
435 ported options are
436
437
438 v1=true|false for the core API group
439 <group>/<version>=true|false for a specific API group and version (e.g. apps/v1=true)
440 api/all=true|false controls all API versions
441 api/ga=true|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+
442 api/beta=true|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+beta[0-9]+
443 api/alpha=true|false controls all API versions of the form v[0-9]+alpha[0-9]+
444 api/legacy is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version
445 --secure-port int The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. It cannot be switched off with 0. (default 6443)
446 --service-account-issuer {service-account-issuer}/.well-known/openid-configuration 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.
447 --service-account-jwks-uri string Overrides the URI for the JSON Web Key Set in the discovery doc served at /.well-known/openid-configuration. This flag is useful if the discovery docand key set are served to relying parties from a URL other than the API server's external (as auto-detected or overridden with external-hostname). Only valid if the ServiceAccountIssuerDiscovery feature gate is enabled.
448 --service-account-key-file stringArray File containing PEM-encoded x509 RSA or ECDSA private or public keys, used to verify ServiceAccount tokens. The specified file can contain multiple keys, and the flag can be specified multiple times with different files. If unspecified, --tls-private-key-file is used. Must be specified when --service-account-signing-key is provided
449 --service-account-lookup If true, validate ServiceAccount tokens exist in etcd as part of authentication. (default true)
450 --service-account-max-token-expiration duration The maximum validity duration of a token created by the service account token issuer. If an otherwise valid TokenRequest with a validity duration larger than this value is requested, a token will be issued with a validity duration of this value.
451 --service-account-signing-key-file string Path to the file that contains the current private key of the service account token issuer. The issuer will sign issued ID tokens with this private key. (Requires the 'TokenRequest' feature gate.)
452 --service-cluster-ip-range string A CIDR notation IP range from which to assign service cluster IPs. This must not overlap with any IP ranges assigned to nodes for pods.
453
454
455
456 --service-node-port-range portRange
457 A port range to reserve for services with NodePort visibility. Example
458 '30000-32767'. Inclusive at both ends of the range. (default
459 30000-32767)
460
461
462 --show-hidden-metrics-for-version string
463 The previous version for which you want to show hidden metrics. Only
464 the previous minor version is meaningful, other values will not be
465 allowed. The format is ., e.g. '1.16'. The purpose of this for‐
466 mat is make sure you have the opportunity to notice if the next release
467 hides additional metrics, rather than being surprised when they are
468 permanently removed in the release after that.
469
470
471 --shutdown-delay-duration duration Time to delay the termination. During that time the server keeps serving requests normally and /healthz returns 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.
472 --skip-headers If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
473 --skip-log-headers If true, avoid headers when opening log files
474 --stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
475
476
477
478 --storage-backend string
479 The storage backend for persistence. Options 'etcd3' (default).
480
481
482 --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. (default "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf")
483 --target-ram-mb int Memory limit for apiserver in MB (used to configure sizes of caches, etc.)
484 --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.
485
486
487
488 --tls-cipher-suites strings
489 Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the server. If omitted, the
490 default Go cipher suites will be use. Possible values
491 TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,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_RC4_128_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,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_RC4_128_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA
492
493
494 --tls-min-version string
495 Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values VersionTLS10, Ver‐
496 sionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13
497
498
499 --tls-private-key-file string File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.
500
501
502
503 --tls-sni-cert-key namedCertKey
504 A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suf‐
505 fixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain
506 names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns
507 also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver
508 has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain
509 patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted.
510 Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain pat‐
511 terns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs,
512 use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples "exam‐
513 ple.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com". (default
514 [])
515
516
517 --token-auth-file string If set, the file that will be used to secure the secure port of the API server via token authentication.
518
519
520
521 -v, --v Level
522 number for the log level verbosity
523 --version version[=true]
524 Print version information and quit
525 --vmodule moduleSpec
526 comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
527 --watch-cache
528 Enable watch caching in the apiserver (default true)
529 --watch-cache-sizes strings
530 Watch cache size settings for some resources (pods, nodes, etc.), comma
531 separated. The individual setting format resource[.group]#size,
532 where resource is lowercase plural (no version), group is omitted for
533 resources of apiVersion v1 (the legacy core API) and included for oth‐
534 ers, and size is a number. It takes effect when watch-cache is enabled.
535 Some resources (replicationcontrollers, endpoints, nodes, pods, ser‐
536 vices, apiservices.apiregistration.k8s.io) have system defaults set by
537 heuristics, others default to default-watch-cache-size
