## kube-scheduler



### Synopsis


The Kubernetes scheduler is a policy-rich, topology-aware,
workload-specific function that significantly impacts availability, performance,
and capacity. The scheduler needs to take into account individual and collective
resource requirements, quality of service requirements, hardware/software/policy
constraints, affinity and anti-affinity specifications, data locality, inter-workload
interference, deadlines, and so on. Workload-specific requirements will be exposed
through the API as necessary.

Accelerators=true|false (ALPHA - default=false)
AdvancedAuditing=true|false (ALPHA - default=false)
AffinityInAnnotations=true|false (ALPHA - default=false)
AllAlpha=true|false (ALPHA - default=false)

      --google-json-key string                   The Google Cloud Platform Service Account JSON Key to use for authentication.
      --kube-api-burst int32                     Burst to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver (default 100)
      --kube-api-content-type string             Content type of requests sent to apiserver. (default "application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf")
      --kube-api-qps float32                     QPS to use while talking with kubernetes apiserver (default 50)
      --kubeconfig string                        Path to kubeconfig file with authorization and master location information.
      --leader-elect                             Start a leader election client and gain leadership before executing the main loop. Enable this when running replicated components for high availability. (default true)
      --leader-elect-lease-duration duration     The 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. (default 15s)
      --leader-elect-renew-deadline duration     The interval between attempts by the acting master to renew a leadership slot before it stops leading. This must be less than or equal to the lease duration. This is only applicable if leader election is enabled. (default 10s)
      --leader-elect-resource-lock endpoints     The type of resource object that is used for locking during leader election. Supported options are endpoints (default) and `configmap`. (default "endpoints")
      --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)
      --lock-object-name string                  Define the name of the lock object. (default "kube-scheduler")
      --lock-object-namespace string             Define the namespace of the lock object. (default "kube-system")
      --master string                            The address of the Kubernetes API server (overrides any value in kubeconfig)
      --policy-config-file string                File with scheduler policy configuration. This file is used if policy ConfigMap is not provided or --use-legacy-policy-config==true
      --policy-configmap string                  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 config must be provided as the value of an element in 'Data' map with the key='policy.cfg'
      --policy-configmap-namespace string        The namespace where policy ConfigMap is located. The system namespace will be used if this is not provided or is empty. (default "kube-system")
      --port int32                               The port that the scheduler's http service runs on (default 10251)
      --profiling                                Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/ (default true)
