The Kubernetes controller manager is a daemon that embeds
the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes. In applications of robotics and
automation, a control loop is a non-terminating loop that regulates the state of
the system. In Kubernetes, a controller is a control loop that watches the shared
state of the cluster through the apiserver and makes changes attempting to move the
current state towards the desired state. Examples of controllers that ship with
Kubernetes today are the replication controller, endpoints controller, namespace
controller, and serviceaccounts controller.

Usage:
  kube-controller-manager [flags]

Debugging flags:

      --contention-profiling   Enable block profiling, if profiling is enabled
      --profiling              Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/ (default true)

Leader-migration flags:

      --enable-leader-migration          Whether to enable controller leader migration.
      --leader-migration-config string   Path to the config file for controller leader migration, or empty to use the value that reflects default configuration of the controller manager. The config file should be of type LeaderMigrationConfiguration, group controllermanager.config.k8s.io, version v1alpha1.

Generic flags:

      --allocate-node-cidrs                                Should CIDRs for Pods be allocated and set on the cloud provider. Requires --cluster-cidr.
      --cidr-allocator-type string                         Type of CIDR allocator to use (default "RangeAllocator")
      --cloud-config string                                The path to the cloud provider configuration file. Empty string for no configuration file.
      --cloud-provider string                              The provider for cloud services. Empty string for no provider.
      --cluster-cidr string                                CIDR Range for Pods in cluster. Only used when --allocate-node-cidrs=true; if false, this option will be ignored.
      --cluster-name string                                The instance prefix for the cluster. (default "kubernetes")
      --configure-cloud-routes                             Should CIDRs allocated by allocate-node-cidrs be configured on the cloud provider. (default true)
      --controller-shutdown-timeout duration               Time to wait for the controllers to shut down before terminating the executable (default 10s)
      --controller-start-interval duration                 Interval between starting controller managers.
      --controllers strings                                A list of controllers to enable. '*' enables all on-by-default controllers, 'foo' enables the controller named 'foo', '-foo' disables the controller named 'foo'.
                                                           All controllers: bootstrap-signer-controller, certificatesigningrequest-approving-controller, certificatesigningrequest-cleaner-controller, certificatesigningrequest-signing-controller, cloud-node-lifecycle-controller, clusterrole-aggregation-controller, cronjob-controller, daemonset-controller, deployment-controller, device-taint-eviction-controller, disruption-controller, endpoints-controller, endpointslice-controller, endpointslice-mirroring-controller, ephemeral-volume-controller, garbage-collector-controller, horizontal-pod-autoscaler-controller, job-controller, kube-apiserver-serving-clustertrustbundle-publisher-controller, legacy-serviceaccount-token-cleaner-controller, namespace-controller, node-ipam-controller, node-lifecycle-controller, node-route-controller, persistentvolume-attach-detach-controller, persistentvolume-binder-controller, persistentvolume-expander-controller, persistentvolume-protection-controller, persistentvolumeclaim-protection-controller, pod-garbage-collector-controller, podcertificaterequest-cleaner-controller, replicaset-controller, replicationcontroller-controller, resourceclaim-controller, resourcequota-controller, root-ca-certificate-publisher-controller, selinux-warning-controller, service-cidr-controller, service-lb-controller, serviceaccount-controller, serviceaccount-token-controller, statefulset-controller, storage-version-migrator-controller, storageversion-garbage-collector-controller, taint-eviction-controller, token-cleaner-controller, ttl-after-finished-controller, ttl-controller, validatingadmissionpolicy-status-controller, volumeattributesclass-protection-controller

      --emulated-version strings                           The versions different components emulate their capabilities (APIs, features, ...) of.
                                                           If set, the component will emulate the behavior of this version instead of the underlying binary version.
                                                           Version format could only be major.minor, for example: '--emulated-version=wardle=1.2,kube=1.31'.

      --leader-elect-retry-period duration                 The duration the clients should wait between attempting acquisition and renewal of a leadership. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled. (default 2s)
      --min-compatibility-version strings                  The min version of control plane components the server should be compatible with.
                                                           Must be less or equal to the emulated-version. Version format could only be major.minor, for example: '--min-compatibility-version=wardle=1.2,kube=1.31'.

Service-lb-controller flags:

      --concurrent-service-syncs int32   The number of services that are allowed to sync concurrently. Larger number = more responsive service management, but more CPU (and network) load (default 1)

Secure serving flags:

      --bind-address ip                        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 and IP address families will be used. (default 0.0.0.0)
      --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.
      --disable-http2-serving                  If true, HTTP2 serving will be disabled [default=false]
      --http2-max-streams-per-connection int   The limit that the server gives to clients for the maximum number of streams in an HTTP/2 connection. Zero means to use golang's default.
      --permit-address-sharing                 If true, SO_REUSEADDR will be used when binding the port. This allows binding to wildcard IPs like 0.0.0.0 and specific IPs in parallel, and it avoids waiting for the kernel to release sockets in TIME_WAIT state. [default=false]
      --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]
      --secure-port int                        The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. If 0, don't serve HTTPS at all. (default 10257)
      --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.
                                               Preferred values: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384, TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, 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_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA, 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_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256.
                                               Insecure values: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA, TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256, 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.
      --tls-min-version string                 Minimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13
      --tls-private-key-file string            File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.
      --tls-sni-cert-key namedCertKey          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". (default [])

Authentication flags:

      --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.
