Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If 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.

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. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If 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 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).

"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
evictionMinimumReclaim map[string]string	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"} Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If 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. If 0, this field is ignored. 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: 0

Otherwise the Kubelet will attempt to modify kernel flags to match its expectation. Dynamic Kubelet Config (beta): If 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	If true, Kubelet ensures a set of iptables rules are present on host. These rules will serve as utility rules for various components, e.g. KubeProxy.

Currently only cpu and memory 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
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. This provide a "static" CPU list rather than the "dynamic" list by system-reserved and kube-reserved. This option overwrites CPUs provided by system-reserved and kube-reserved.
showHiddenMetricsForVersion string	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 ., e.g.: '1.16'.

Refer to [Node Allocatable](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals/node/node-allocatable.md) 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"]

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.

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

Appears in:

• KubeletAuthentication

Field	Description
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:

• KubeletAuthorization

Field	Description
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:

• KubeletAuthentication

Field	Description
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:

• KubeletConfiguration

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

LoggingConfiguration

Appears in:

• KubeletConfiguration
