# kube-scheduler

kube-schedulerSynopsisThe 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--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'.--allow-metric-labels-manifest stringThe path to the manifest file that contains the allow-list mapping. The format of the file is the same as the flag --allow-metric-labels. Note that the flag --allow-metric-labels will override the manifest file.--authentication-kubeconfig stringkubeconfig 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-lookupIf false, the authentication-kubeconfig will be used to lookup missing authentication configuration from the cluster.--authentication-token-webhook-cache-ttl duration Default: 10sThe duration to cache responses from the webhook token authenticator.--authentication-tolerate-lookup-failure Default: trueIf 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 stringkubeconfig 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: 10sThe duration to cache 'authorized' responses from the webhook authorizer.--authorization-webhook-cache-unauthorized-ttl duration Default: 10sThe duration to cache 'unauthorized' responses from the webhook authorizer.--bind-address string Default: 0.0.0.0The 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.--cert-dir stringThe 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 stringIf 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 stringThe path to the configuration file.--contention-profiling Default: trueDEPRECATED: enable block profiling, if profiling is enabled. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--disable-http2-servingIf true, HTTP2 serving will be disabled [default=false]--disabled-metrics stringsThis 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.--emulated-version stringsThe 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'.Options are: kube=1.31..1.33(default:1.33)If the component is not specified, defaults to "kube"--feature-gates colonSeparatedMultimapStringStringComma-separated list of component:key=value pairs that describe feature gates for alpha/experimental features of different components.If the component is not specified, defaults to "kube".

Zero means to use golang's default.--kube-api-burst int32 Default: 100DEPRECATED: burst to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--kube-api-content-type string Default: "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf"DEPRECATED: content type of requests sent to apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--kube-api-qps float Default: 50DEPRECATED: QPS to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--kubeconfig stringDEPRECATED: path to kubeconfig file with authorization and master location information. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--leader-elect Default: trueStart a leader election client and gain leadership before executing the main loop. Enable this when running replicated components for high availability.--leader-elect-lease-duration duration Default: 15sThe duration that non-leader candidates will wait after observing a leadership renewal until attempting to acquire leadership of a led but unrenewed leader slot. This is effectively the maximum duration that a leader can be stopped before it is replaced by another candidate. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.--leader-elect-renew-deadline duration Default: 10sThe interval between attempts by the acting master to renew a leadership slot before it stops leading. This must be less than the lease duration. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.--leader-elect-resource-lock string Default: "leases"The type of resource object that is used for locking during leader election. Supported options are 'leases'.--leader-elect-resource-name string Default: "kube-scheduler"The name of resource object that is used for locking during leader election.--leader-elect-resource-namespace string Default: "kube-system"The namespace of resource object that is used for locking during leader election.--leader-elect-retry-period duration Default: 2sThe duration the clients should wait between attempting acquisition and renewal of a leadership. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled.--log-flush-frequency duration Default: 5sMaximum number of seconds between log flushes--log-text-info-buffer-size quantity[Alpha] In text format with split output streams, the info messages can be buffered for a while to increase performance. The default value of zero bytes disables buffering. The size can be specified as number of bytes (512), multiples of 1000 (1K), multiples of 1024 (2Ki), or powers of those (3M, 4G, 5Mi, 6Gi). Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.--log-text-split-stream[Alpha] In text format, write error messages to stderr and info messages to stdout. The default is to write a single stream to stdout. Enable the LoggingAlphaOptions feature gate to use this.--logging-format string Default: "text"Sets the log format. Permitted formats: "text".--master stringThe address of the Kubernetes API server (overrides any value in kubeconfig)--permit-address-sharingIf 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-sharingIf 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]--pod-max-in-unschedulable-pods-duration duration Default: 5m0sDEPRECATED: the maximum time a pod can stay in unschedulablePods. If a pod stays in unschedulablePods for longer than this value, the pod will be moved from unschedulablePods to backoffQ or activeQ. This flag is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.--profiling Default: trueDEPRECATED: enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/. This parameter is ignored if a config file is specified in --config.--requestheader-allowed-names stringsList of client certificate common names to allow to provide usernames in headers specified by --requestheader-username-headers.

Requires the RemoteRequestHeaderUID feature to be enabled.--requestheader-username-headers strings Default: "x-remote-user"List of request headers to inspect for usernames. X-Remote-User is common.--secure-port int Default: 10259The port on which to serve HTTPS with authentication and authorization. If 0, don't serve HTTPS at all.--show-hidden-metrics-for-version stringThe 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.--tls-cert-file stringFile 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 stringsComma-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 stringMinimum TLS version supported. Possible values: VersionTLS10, VersionTLS11, VersionTLS12, VersionTLS13--tls-private-key-file stringFile containing the default x509 private key matching --tls-cert-file.--tls-sni-cert-key stringA 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".-v, --v intnumber for the log level verbosity--version version[=true]--version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version--vmodule pattern=N,...comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging (only works for text log format)--write-config-to stringIf set, write the configuration values to this file and exit.This page is automatically generated.If you plan to report an issue with this page, mention that the page is auto-generated in your issue description. The fix may need to happen elsewhere in the Kubernetes project.
