Configuring the [aggregation layer](/docs/concepts/api-extension/apiserver-aggregation/) allows the Kubernetes apiserver to be extended with additional APIs, which are not part of the core Kubernetes APIs.

**Note:** There are a few setup requirements for getting the aggregation layer working in your environment to support mutual TLS auth between the proxy and extension apiservers. Kubernetes and the kube-apiserver have multiple CAs, so make sure that the proxy is signed by the aggregation layer CA and not by something else, like the master CA.

## Enable apiserver flags
Enable the aggregation layer via the following kube-apiserver flags. They may have already been taken care of by your provider.
--requestheader-client-ca-file=<path to aggregator CA cert>
--requestheader-allowed-names=front-proxy-client
--requestheader-extra-headers-prefix=X-Remote-Extra-
--requestheader-group-headers=X-Remote-Group
--requestheader-username-headers=X-Remote-User
--proxy-client-cert-file=<path to aggregator proxy cert>
--proxy-client-key-file=<path to aggregator proxy key>
WARNING: do **not** reuse a CA that is used in a different context unless you understand the risks and the mechanisms to protect the CA's usage.
If you are not running kube-proxy on a host running the API server, then you must make sure that the system is enabled with the following apiserver flag:
--enable-aggregator-routing=true
