Kube-apiserver

This page describes about kube-apiserver run in simulator.

How to communicate with this kube-apiserver

You can use any ways like kubectl, k8s client library, or our Web UI.

The endpoint is "http://localhost:3131" by default. (can be configured by env described in the below section.)

kubeconfig

You can use this kubeconfig to communicate with kube-apiserver in the simulator.

kubeconfig.yaml

kubectl

You can use the --server option.

kubectl get pods --server=localhost:3131

Of course, you can also use the above kubeconfig.

How it is configured

Environment Variable

The kube-apiserver is configured to expose on the port KUBE_API_PORT and on the network interface KUBE_API_HOST.

If the two variables are not specified, port 3131 will be used with the localhost 127.0.0.1 address.

Server Creation

We create a kube-apiserver instance by utilising the code path in Kubernetes/cmd/kube-apiserver, meaning we do not have to maintain any apiserver code.

However, we will have to modify a few things to allow our kube-apiserver to be accessible and usable without too much hassles. We have modified the following options in file:

  1. Etcd URL - access our Etcd instance.
  2. Authorization mode - uses RBAC authorization.
  3. Authentication method - to allow anonymous authentication.
  4. Secure Serving - creation of a temporary fake key for secure serving and saving the key in a temporary directory.
  5. Admission - disabling admission plugins allow us to create nodes without not ready taints, and not having to create default service accounts.
