kube-scheduler
Synopsis
The Kubernetes scheduler is a control plane process which assigns Pods to Nodes. The scheduler determines which Nodes are valid placements for each Pod in the scheduling queue according to constraints and available resources. The scheduler then ranks each valid Node and binds the Pod to a suitable Node. Multiple different schedulers may be used within a cluster; kube-scheduler is the reference implementation. See scheduling for more information about scheduling and the kube-scheduler component.
kube-scheduler [flags]
Options
| --add-dir-header | |
If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages | |
| --address string Default: "0.0.0.0" | |
DEPRECATED: the IP address on which to listen for the --port port (set to 0.0.0.0 or :: for listening in all interfaces and IP families). See --bind-address instead. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config. | |
| --algorithm-provider string | |
DEPRECATED: the scheduling algorithm provider to use, this sets the default plugins for component config profiles. Choose one of: ClusterAutoscalerProvider | DefaultProvider | |
| --allow-metric-labels stringToString Default: [] | |
The map from metric-label to value allow-list of this label. The key's format is <MetricName>,<LabelName>. The value's format is <allowed_value>,<allowed_value>...e.g. metric1,label1='v1,v2,v3', metric1,label2='v1,v2,v3' metric2,label1='v1,v2,v3'. | |
| --alsologtostderr | |
log to standard error as well as files | |
| --authentication-kubeconfig string | |
kubeconfig file pointing at the 'core' kubernetes server with enough rights to create tokenreviews.authentication.k8s.io. This is optional. If empty, all token requests are considered to be anonymous and no client CA is looked up in the cluster. | |
| --authentication-skip-lookup | |
If false, the authentication-kubeconfig will be used to lookup missing authentication configuration from the cluster. | |
| --authentication-token-webhook-cache-ttl duration Default: 10s | |
The duration to cache responses from the webhook token authenticator. | |
| --authentication-tolerate-lookup-failure Default: true | |
If true, failures to look up missing authentication configuration from the cluster are not considered fatal. Note that this can result in authentication that treats all requests as anonymous. | |
| --authorization-always-allow-paths strings Default: "/healthz,/readyz,/livez" | |
A list of HTTP paths to skip during authorization, i.e. these are authorized without contacting the 'core' kubernetes server. | |
| --authorization-kubeconfig string | |
kubeconfig file pointing at the 'core' kubernetes server with enough rights to create subjectaccessreviews.authorization.k8s.io. This is optional. If empty, all requests not skipped by authorization are forbidden. | |
| --authorization-webhook-cache-authorized-ttl duration Default: 10s | |
The duration to cache 'authorized' responses from the webhook authorizer. | |
| --authorization-webhook-cache-unauthorized-ttl duration Default: 10s | |

| --azure-container-registry-config string | |
Path to the file containing Azure container registry configuration information. | |
| --bind-address string Default: 0.0.0.0 | |
The IP address on which to listen for the --secure-port port. The associated interface(s) must be reachable by the rest of the cluster, and by CLI/web clients. If blank or an unspecified address (0.0.0.0 or ::), all interfaces will be used. | |
| --cert-dir string | |
The directory where the TLS certs are located. If --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are provided, this flag will be ignored. | |
| --client-ca-file string | |
If set, any request presenting a client certificate signed by one of the authorities in the client-ca-file is authenticated with an identity corresponding to the CommonName of the client certificate. | |
| --config string | |

| --contention-profiling Default: true | |
DEPRECATED: enable lock contention profiling, if profiling is enabled. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config. | |
| --disabled-metrics strings | |
This flag provides an escape hatch for misbehaving metrics. You must provide the fully qualified metric name in order to disable it. Disclaimer: disabling metrics is higher in precedence than showing hidden metrics. | |
| --experimental-logging-sanitization | |
[Experimental] When enabled prevents logging of fields tagged as sensitive (passwords, keys, tokens). | |
| --feature-gates <comma-separated 'key=True|False' pairs> | |
A set of key=value pairs that describe feature gates for alpha/experimental features. Options are: | |
| --hard-pod-affinity-symmetric-weight int32 Default: 1 | |

| --permit-port-sharing | |
If true, SO_REUSEPORT will be used when binding the port, which allows more than one instance to bind on the same address and port. [default=false] | |

| --policy-configmap string | |
DEPRECATED: name of the ConfigMap object that contains scheduler's policy configuration. It must exist in the system namespace before scheduler initialization if --use-legacy-policy-config=false.

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. | |
| --skip-headers | |
If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages | |
| --skip-log-headers | |
If true, avoid headers when opening log files | |
| --stderrthreshold int Default: 2 | |

| --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. | |
| --tls-cipher-suites strings | |
Comma-separated list of cipher suites for the server. If omitted, the default Go cipher suites will be used. | |
| --tls-min-version string | |
Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13 | |
| --tls-private-key-file string | |

| --tls-sni-cert-key string | |
A pair of x509 certificate and private key file paths, optionally suffixed with a list of domain patterns which are fully qualified domain names, possibly with prefixed wildcard segments. The domain patterns also allow IP addresses, but IPs should only be used if the apiserver has visibility to the IP address requested by a client. If no domain patterns are provided, the names of the certificate are extracted. Non-wildcard matches trump over wildcard matches, explicit domain patterns trump over extracted names. For multiple key/certificate pairs, use the --tls-sni-cert-key multiple times. Examples: "example.crt,example.key" or "foo.crt,foo.key:*.foo.com,foo.com". | |
| --use-legacy-policy-config | |
DEPRECATED: when set to true, scheduler will ignore policy ConfigMap and uses policy config file. Note: The scheduler will fail if this is combined with Plugin configs | |
| -v, --v int | |

| --version version[=true] | |
Print version information and quit | |
| --vmodule <comma-separated 'pattern=N' settings> | |
