1 - Feature Gates
This page contains an overview of the various feature gates an administrator can specify on different Kubernetes components.
See feature stages for an explanation of the stages for a feature.
Overview
Feature gates are a set of key=value pairs that describe Kubernetes features.
You can turn these features on or off using the --feature-gates
command line flag
on each Kubernetes component.
Each Kubernetes component lets you enable or disable a set of feature gates that
are relevant to that component.
Use -h
flag to see a full set of feature gates for all components.
To set feature gates for a component, such as kubelet, use the --feature-gates
flag assigned to a list of feature pairs:
--feature-gates=...,GracefulNodeShutdown=true
The following tables are a summary of the feature gates that you can set on different Kubernetes components.
- The "Since" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced or its release stage is changed.
- The "Until" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which you can still use a feature gate.
- If a feature is in the Alpha or Beta state, you can find the feature listed in the Alpha/Beta feature gate table.
- If a feature is stable you can find all stages for that feature listed in the Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table.
- The Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table also lists deprecated and withdrawn features.

Using a feature
Feature stages
A feature can be in Alpha, Beta or GA stage. An Alpha feature means:
- Disabled by default.
- Might be buggy. Enabling the feature may expose bugs.
- Support for feature may be dropped at any time without notice.
- The API may change in incompatible ways in a later software release without notice.
- Recommended for use only in short-lived testing clusters, due to increased risk of bugs and lack of long-term support.
A Beta feature means:
- Usually enabled by default. Beta API groups are disabled by default.
- The feature is well tested. Enabling the feature is considered safe.
- Support for the overall feature will not be dropped, though details may change.
- The schema and/or semantics of objects may change in incompatible ways in a subsequent beta or stable release. When this happens, we will provide instructions for migrating to the next version. This may require deleting, editing, and re-creating API objects. The editing process may require some thought. This may require downtime for applications that rely on the feature.
- Recommended for only non-business-critical uses because of potential for incompatible changes in subsequent releases. If you have multiple clusters that can be upgraded independently, you may be able to relax this restriction.
A General Availability (GA) feature is also referred to as a stable feature. It means:
- The feature is always enabled; you cannot disable it.
- The corresponding feature gate is no longer needed.
- Stable versions of features will appear in released software for many subsequent versions.
List of feature gates
Each feature gate is designed for enabling/disabling a specific feature:
-
AdmissionWebhookMatchConditions
: Enable match conditions on mutating & validating admission webhooks. -
APIListChunking
: Enable the API clients to retrieve (LIST
orGET
) resources from API server in chunks. -
APIPriorityAndFairness
: Enable managing request concurrency with prioritization and fairness at each server. (Renamed fromRequestManagement
) -
APIResponseCompression
: Compress the API responses forLIST
orGET
requests. -
APISelfSubjectReview
: Activate theSelfSubjectReview
API which allows users to see the requesting subject's authentication information. See API access to authentication information for a client for more details. -
APIServerIdentity
: Assign each API server an ID in a cluster, using a Lease. -
APIServerTracing
: Add support for distributed tracing in the API server. See Traces for Kubernetes System Components for more details. -
AggregatedDiscoveryEndpoint
: Enable a single HTTP endpoint/discovery/<version>
which supports native HTTP caching with ETags containing all APIResources known to the API server. -
AnyVolumeDataSource
: Enable use of any custom resource as theDataSource
of a PVC. -
AppArmor
: Enable use of AppArmor mandatory access control for Pods running on Linux nodes. See AppArmor Tutorial for more details. -
CPUManager
: Enable container level CPU affinity support, see CPU Management Policies. -
CPUManagerPolicyAlphaOptions
: This allows fine-tuning of CPUManager policies, experimental, Alpha-quality options. This feature gate guards a group of CPUManager options whose quality level is alpha. This feature gate will never graduate to beta or stable. -
CPUManagerPolicyBetaOptions
: This allows fine-tuning of CPUManager policies, experimental, Beta-quality options. This feature gate guards a group of CPUManager options whose quality level is beta. This feature gate will never graduate to stable. -
CPUManagerPolicyOptions
: Allow fine-tuning of CPUManager policies. -
CSIMigrationAzureFile
: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the Azure-File in-tree plugin to AzureFile CSI plugin. Supports falling back to in-tree AzureFile plugin for mount operations to nodes that have the feature disabled or that do not have AzureFile CSI plugin installed and configured. Does not support falling back for provision operations, for those the CSI plugin must be installed and configured. Requires CSIMigration feature flag enabled. -
CSIMigrationRBD
: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the RBD in-tree plugin to Ceph RBD CSI plugin. Requires CSIMigration and csiMigrationRBD feature flags enabled and Ceph CSI plugin installed and configured in the cluster. This flag has been deprecated in favor of theInTreePluginRBDUnregister
feature flag which prevents the registration of in-tree RBD plugin. -
CSIMigrationvSphere
: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the vSphere in-tree plugin to vSphere CSI plugin. Supports falling back to in-tree vSphere plugin for mount operations to nodes that have the feature disabled or that do not have vSphere CSI plugin installed and configured. Does not support falling back for provision operations, for those the CSI plugin must be installed and configured. Requires CSIMigration feature flag enabled. -
CSIMigrationPortworx
: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from the Portworx in-tree plugin to Portworx CSI plugin. Requires Portworx CSI driver to be installed and configured in the cluster. -
CSINodeExpandSecret
: Enable passing secret authentication data to a CSI driver for use during aNodeExpandVolume

EventedPLEG
: Enable support for the kubelet to receive container life cycle events from the container runtime via an extension to CRI. (PLEG is an abbreviation for “Pod lifecycle event generator”). For this feature to be useful, you also need to enable support for container lifecycle events in each container runtime running in your cluster. If the container runtime does not announce support for container lifecycle events then the kubelet automatically switches to the legacy generic PLEG mechanism, even if you have this feature gate enabled. -
ExecProbeTimeout
: Ensure kubelet respects exec probe timeouts. This feature gate exists in case any of your existing workloads depend on a now-corrected fault where Kubernetes ignored exec probe timeouts. See readiness probes. -
ExpandedDNSConfig

services. -
KubeletCgroupDriverFromCRI
: Enable detection of the kubelet cgroup driver configuration option from the CRI. You can use this feature gate on nodes with a kubelet that supports the feature gate and where there is a CRI container runtime that supports theRuntimeConfig
CRI call. If both CRI and kubelet support this feature, the kubelet ignores thecgroupDriver
configuration setting (or deprecated--cgroup-driver
command line argument). If you enable this feature gate and the container runtime doesn't support it, the kubelet falls back to using the driver configured using thecgroupDriver
configuration setting. See Configuring a cgroup driver for more details. -

NewVolumeManagerReconstruction
: Enables improved discovery of mounted volumes during kubelet startup. Since this code has been significantly refactored, we allow to opt-out in case kubelet gets stuck at the startup or is not unmounting volumes from terminated Pods. Note that this refactoring was behindSELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod
alpha feature gate in Kubernetes 1.25.Before Kubernetes v1.25, the kubelet used different default behavior for discovering mounted volumes during the kubelet startup. If you disable this feature gate (it's enabled by default), you select the legacy discovery behavior.
In Kubernetes v1.25 and v1.26, this behavior toggle was part of the
SELinuxMountReadWriteOncePod
feature gate. -
NodeInclusionPolicyInPodTopologySpread
: Enable usingnodeAffinityPolicy
andnodeTaintsPolicy
in Pod topology spread constraints when calculating pod topology spread skew. -
NodeLogQuery
: Enables querying logs of node services using the/logs
endpoint. -

RemoveSelfLink
: Sets the.metadata.selfLink
field to blank (empty string) for all objects and collections. This field has been deprecated since the Kubernetes v1.16 release. When this feature is enabled, the.metadata.selfLink
field remains part of the Kubernetes API, but is always unset. -

SchedulerQueueingHints
: Enables the scheduler's queueing hints enhancement, which benefits to reduce the useless requeueing. The scheduler retries scheduling pods if something changes in the cluster that could make the pod scheduled. Queueing hints are internal signals that allow the scheduler to filter the changes in the cluster that are relevant to the unscheduled pod, based on previous scheduling attempts. -

What's next
- The deprecation policy for Kubernetes explains the project's approach to removing features and components.
- Since Kubernetes 1.24, new beta APIs are not enabled by default. When enabling a beta
feature, you will also need to enable any associated API resources.
For example, to enable a particular resource like
storage.k8s.io/v1beta1/csistoragecapacities
, set--runtime-config=storage.k8s.io/v1beta1/csistoragecapacities
. See API Versioning for more details on the command line flags.
2 - Feature Gates (removed)
This page contains list of feature gates that have been removed. The information on this page is for reference. A removed feature gate is different from a GA'ed or deprecated one in that a removed one is no longer recognized as a valid feature gate. However, a GA'ed or a deprecated feature gate is still recognized by the corresponding Kubernetes components although they are unable to cause any behavior differences in a cluster.
For feature gates that are still recognized by the Kubernetes components, please refer to the Alpha/Beta feature gate table or the Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table
Feature gates that are removed
In the following table:
- The "From" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced or its release stage is changed.
- The "To" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which you can still use a feature gate. If the feature stage is either "Deprecated" or "GA", the "To" column is the Kubernetes release when the feature is removed.

Descriptions for removed feature gates
-
Accelerators
: Provided an early form of plugin to enable Nvidia GPU support when using Docker Engine; no longer available. See Device Plugins for an alternative. -
AffinityInAnnotations
: Enable setting Pod affinity or anti-affinity. -
AdvancedAuditing
: Enable advanced auditing -
AllowExtTrafficLocalEndpoints
: Enable a service to route external requests to node local endpoints. -
AllowInsecureBackendProxy
: Enable the users to skip TLS verification of kubelets on Pod log requests. -
AttachVolumeLimit
: Enable volume plugins to report limits on number of volumes that can be attached to a node. See dynamic volume limits for more details. -
BalanceAttachedNodeVolumes
: Include volume count on node to be considered for balanced resource allocation while scheduling. A node which has closer CPU, memory utilization, and volume count is favored by the scheduler while making decisions. -
BlockVolume
: Enable the definition and consumption of raw block devices in Pods. See Raw Block Volume Support for more details. -
BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume
: Migrate ServiceAccount volumes to use a projected volume consisting of a ServiceAccountTokenVolumeProjection. Cluster admins can use metricserviceaccount_stale_tokens_total
to monitor workloads that are depending on the extended tokens. If there are no such workloads, turn off extended tokens by startingkube-apiserver
with flag--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false
. Check Bound Service Account Tokens for more details. -
CRIContainerLogRotation
: Enable container log rotation for CRI container runtime. The default max size of a log file is 10MB and the default max number of log files allowed for a container is 5. These values can be configured in the kubelet config. See logging at node level for more details. -
CSIBlockVolume
: Enable external CSI volume drivers to support block storage. Seecsi
raw block volume support for more details. -
CSIDriverRegistry
: Enable all logic related to the CSIDriver API object incsi.storage.k8s.io
. -
CSIInlineVolume
: Enable CSI Inline volumes support for pods. -
CSIMigration
: Enables shims and translation logic to route volume operations from in-tree plugins to corresponding pre-installed CSI plugins -
CSIMigrationAWS

3 - kubelet
Synopsis
The kubelet is the primary "node agent" that runs on each node. It can register the node with the apiserver using one of: the hostname; a flag to override the hostname; or specific logic for a cloud provider.
The kubelet works in terms of a PodSpec. A PodSpec is a YAML or JSON object that describes a pod. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are provided through various mechanisms (primarily through the apiserver) and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are running and healthy. The kubelet doesn't manage containers which were not created by Kubernetes.
Other than from a PodSpec from the apiserver, there are two ways that a container manifest can be provided to the kubelet.
- File: Path passed as a flag on the command line. Files under this path will be monitored periodically for updates. The monitoring period is 20s by default and is configurable via a flag.
- HTTP endpoint: HTTP endpoint passed as a parameter on the command line. This endpoint is checked every 20 seconds (also configurable with a flag).

If set and the UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy feature gate is enabled, this IP will be used by peer kube-apiservers to proxy requests to this kube-apiserver when the request cannot be handled by the peer due to version skew between the kube-apiservers. This flag is only used in clusters configured with multiple kube-apiservers for high availability. |
|
--peer-advertise-port string | |
If set and the UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy feature gate is enabled, this port will be used by peer kube-apiservers to proxy requests to this kube-apiserver when the request cannot be handled by the peer due to version skew between the kube-apiservers. This flag is only used in clusters configured with multiple kube-apiservers for high availability. |
|

|
--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] |
|

Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/ |
|
--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. |
|
--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. |
|

|
--requestheader-group-headers strings | |
List of request headers to inspect for groups. X-Remote-Group is suggested. |

|
--service-account-extend-token-expiration Default: true | |
Turns on projected service account expiration extension during token generation, which helps safe transition from legacy token to bound service account token feature. If this flag is enabled, admission injected tokens would be extended up to 1 year to prevent unexpected failure during transition, ignoring value of service-account-max-token-expiration. |
|
--service-account-issuer strings | |
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. When this flag is specified multiple times, the first is used to generate tokens and all are used to determine which issuers are accepted. |
|
--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). |
|
--service-account-key-file strings | |
File containing PEM-encoded x509 RSA or ECDSA private or public keys, used to verify ServiceAccount tokens.

|
--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. |

--show-hidden-metrics-for-version 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 <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. |
|
--shutdown-delay-duration duration | |
Time to delay the termination. During that time the server keeps serving requests normally. The endpoints /healthz and /livez will return 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. |
|
--shutdown-send-retry-after | |
If true the HTTP Server will continue listening until all non long running request(s) in flight have been drained, during this window all incoming requests will be rejected with a status code 429 and a 'Retry-After' response header, in addition 'Connection: close' response header is set in order to tear down the TCP connection when idle. |
|

|
--tls-private-key-file string | |
File containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file. |
|
--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". |
|
--token-auth-file string | |
If set, the file that will be used to secure the secure port of the API server via token authentication. |

|
--watch-cache Default: true | |
Enable watch caching in the apiserver |
|
--watch-cache-sizes strings | |
Watch cache size settings for some resources (pods, nodes, etc.), comma separated. The individual setting format: resource[.group]#size, where resource is lowercase plural (no version), group is omitted for resources of apiVersion v1 (the legacy core API) and included for others, and size is a number. This option is only meaningful for resources built into the apiserver, not ones defined by CRDs or aggregated from external servers, and is only consulted if the watch-cache is enabled. The only meaningful size setting to supply here is zero, which means to disable watch caching for the associated resource; all non-zero values are equivalent and mean to not disable watch caching for that resource |
5 - kube-controller-manager
Synopsis
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.

6 - kube-proxy
Synopsis
The Kubernetes network proxy runs on each node. This reflects services as defined in the Kubernetes API on each node and can do simple TCP, UDP, and SCTP stream forwarding or round robin TCP, UDP, and SCTP forwarding across a set of backends. Service cluster IPs and ports are currently found through Docker-links-compatible environment variables specifying ports opened by the service proxy. There is an optional addon that provides cluster DNS for these cluster IPs. The user must create a service with the apiserver API to configure the proxy.

7 - 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.
