kind string	KubeProxyConfiguration
featureGates [Required] map[string]bool	featureGates is a map of feature names to bools that enable or disable alpha/experimental features.
bindAddress [Required] string	bindAddress is the IP address for the proxy server to serve on (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces)
healthzBindAddress [Required] string	healthzBindAddress is the IP address and port for the health check server to serve on, defaulting to 0.0.0.0:10256
metricsBindAddress [Required] string	metricsBindAddress is the IP address and port for the metrics server to serve on, defaulting to 127.0.0.1:10249 (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces)
bindAddressHardFail [Required] bool	bindAddressHardFail, if true, kube-proxy will treat failure to bind to a port as fatal and exit
enableProfiling [Required] bool	enableProfiling enables profiling via web interface on /debug/pprof handler. Profiling handlers will be handled by metrics server.
clusterCIDR [Required] string	clusterCIDR is the CIDR range of the pods in the cluster. It is used to bridge traffic coming from outside of the cluster. If not provided, no off-cluster bridging will be performed.
hostnameOverride [Required] string	hostnameOverride, if non-empty, will be used as the identity instead of the actual hostname.
clientConnection [Required] ClientConnectionConfiguration	clientConnection specifies the kubeconfig file and client connection settings for the proxy server to use when communicating with the apiserver.
iptables [Required] KubeProxyIPTablesConfiguration	iptables contains iptables-related configuration options.
ipvs [Required] KubeProxyIPVSConfiguration	ipvs contains ipvs-related configuration options.
oomScoreAdj [Required] int32	oomScoreAdj is the oom-score-adj value for kube-proxy process. Values must be within the range [-1000, 1000]
mode [Required] ProxyMode	mode specifies which proxy mode to use.
portRange [Required] string	portRange is the range of host ports (beginPort-endPort, inclusive) that may be consumed in order to proxy service traffic. If unspecified (0-0) then ports will be randomly chosen.
udpIdleTimeout [Required] meta/v1.Duration	udpIdleTimeout is how long an idle UDP connection will be kept open (e.g. '250ms', '2s'). Must be greater than 0. Only applicable for proxyMode=userspace.
conntrack [Required] KubeProxyConntrackConfiguration	conntrack contains conntrack-related configuration options.
configSyncPeriod [Required] meta/v1.Duration	configSyncPeriod is how often configuration from the apiserver is refreshed. Must be greater than 0.
nodePortAddresses [Required] []string	nodePortAddresses is the --nodeport-addresses value for kube-proxy process. Values must be valid IP blocks. These values are as a parameter to select the interfaces where nodeport works. In case someone would like to expose a service on localhost for local visit and some other interfaces for particular purpose, a list of IP blocks would do that. If set it to "127.0.0.0/8", kube-proxy will only select the loopback interface for NodePort. If set it to a non-zero IP block, kube-proxy will filter that down to just the IPs that applied to the node. An empty string slice is meant to select all network interfaces.
winkernel [Required] KubeProxyWinkernelConfiguration	winkernel contains winkernel-related configuration options.
showHiddenMetricsForVersion [Required] string	ShowHiddenMetricsForVersion is the version for which you want to show hidden metrics.

Field	Description
maxPerCore [Required] int32	maxPerCore is the maximum number of NAT connections to track per CPU core (0 to leave the limit as-is and ignore min).
min [Required] int32	min is the minimum value of connect-tracking records to allocate, regardless of conntrackMaxPerCore (set maxPerCore=0 to leave the limit as-is).
tcpEstablishedTimeout [Required] meta/v1.Duration	tcpEstablishedTimeout is how long an idle TCP connection will be kept open (e.g. '2s'). Must be greater than 0 to set.
tcpCloseWaitTimeout [Required] meta/v1.Duration	tcpCloseWaitTimeout is how long an idle conntrack entry in CLOSE_WAIT state will remain in the conntrack table. (e.g. '60s'). Must be greater than 0 to set.

KubeProxyIPTablesConfiguration

Appears in:

• KubeProxyConfiguration

KubeProxyIPTablesConfiguration contains iptables-related configuration details for the Kubernetes proxy server.

Field	Description
masqueradeBit [Required] int32	masqueradeBit is the bit of the iptables fwmark space to use for SNAT if using the pure iptables proxy mode. Values must be within the range [0, 31].
masqueradeAll [Required] bool	masqueradeAll tells kube-proxy to SNAT everything if using the pure iptables proxy mode.
syncPeriod [Required] meta/v1.Duration	syncPeriod is the period that iptables rules are refreshed (e.g. '5s', '1m', '2h22m'). Must be greater than 0.
minSyncPeriod [Required] meta/v1.Duration	minSyncPeriod is the minimum period that iptables rules are refreshed (e.g. '5s', '1m', '2h22m').

LocalMode

(Alias of string)

Appears in:

• KubeProxyConfiguration

LocalMode represents modes to detect local traffic from the node

ProxyMode

(Alias of string)

Appears in:

• KubeProxyConfiguration

ProxyMode represents modes used by the Kubernetes proxy server.

Currently, three modes of proxy are available in Linux platform: 'userspace' (older, going to be EOL), 'iptables' (newer, faster), 'ipvs'(newest, better in performance and scalability).

Two modes of proxy are available in Windows platform: 'userspace'(older, stable) and 'kernelspace' (newer, faster).

In Linux platform, if proxy mode is blank, use the best-available proxy (currently iptables, but may change in the future). If the iptables proxy is selected, regardless of how, but the system's kernel or iptables versions are insufficient, this always falls back to the userspace proxy. IPVS mode will be enabled when proxy mode is set to 'ipvs', and the fall back path is firstly iptables and then userspace.

In Windows platform, if proxy mode is blank, use the best-available proxy (currently userspace, but may change in the future). If winkernel proxy is selected, regardless of how, but the Windows kernel can't support this mode of proxy, this always falls back to the userspace proxy.

• KubeProxyConfiguration

ClientConnectionConfiguration contains details for constructing a client.

Field	Description
kubeconfig [Required] string	kubeconfig is the path to a KubeConfig file.
acceptContentTypes [Required] string	acceptContentTypes defines the Accept header sent by clients when connecting to a server, overriding the default value of 'application/json'. This field will control all connections to the server used by a particular client.
contentType [Required] string	contentType is the content type used when sending data to the server from this client.
qps [Required] float32	qps controls the number of queries per second allowed for this connection.
burst [Required] int32	burst allows extra queries to accumulate when a client is exceeding its rate.
