$ kube-proxy --help
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 stream forwarding or round robin TCP,UDP 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.

Usage:
  kube-proxy [flags]

The default config file contains these values:

apiVersion: componentconfig/v1alpha1

Configuration file field descriptions:

kind - Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents.
Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to.
Cannot be updated.
In CamelCase.
More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#types-kinds
+optional

apiVersion - APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object.
Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and
may reject unrecognized values.
More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#resources
+optional

featureGates - TODO this really should be a map but that requires refactoring all
components to use config files because local-up-cluster.sh only supports
the --feature-gates flag right now, which is comma-separated key=value
pairs.

featureGates is a comma-separated list of key=value pairs that control
which alpha/beta features are enabled.

bindAddress - bindAddress is the IP address for the proxy server to serve on (set to 0.0.0.0
for all interfaces)

healthzBindAddress - healthzBindAddress is the IP address and port for the health check server to serve on,
defaulting to 0.0.0.0:10256

metricsBindAddress - metricsBindAddress is the IP address and port for the metrics server to serve on,
defaulting to 127.0.0.1:10249 (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces)

enableProfiling - enableProfiling enables profiling via web interface on /debug/pprof handler.
Profiling handlers will be handled by metrics server.

clusterCIDR - clusterCIDR is the CIDR range of the pods in the cluster. It is used to
bridge traffic coming from outside of the cluster. If not provided,
no off-cluster bridging will be performed.

hostnameOverride - hostnameOverride, if non-empty, will be used as the identity instead of the actual hostname.

clientConnection.kubeconfig - kubeconfig is the path to a kubeconfig file.

clientConnection.acceptContentTypes - acceptContentTypes defines the Accept header sent by clients when connecting to a server, overriding the
default value of 'application/json'. This field will control all connections to the server used by a particular
client.

clientConnection.contentType - contentType is the content type used when sending data to the server from this client.

clientConnection.qps - cps controls the number of queries per second allowed for this connection.

clientConnection.burst - burst allows extra queries to accumulate when a client is exceeding its rate.

iptables.masqueradeBit - masqueradeBit is the bit of the iptables fwmark space to use for SNAT if using
the pure iptables proxy mode. Values must be within the range [0, 31].

iptables.masqueradeAll - masqueradeAll tells kube-proxy to SNAT everything if using the pure iptables proxy mode.

oomScoreAdj - oomScoreAdj is the oom-score-adj value for kube-proxy process. Values must be within
the range [-1000, 1000]

mode - mode specifies which proxy mode to use.

portRange - portRange is the range of host ports (beginPort-endPort, inclusive) that may be consumed
in order to proxy service traffic. If unspecified (0-0) then ports will be randomly chosen.

resourceContainer - resourceContainer is the bsolute name of the resource-only container to create and run
the Kube-proxy in (Default: /kube-proxy).

conntrack.max - max is the maximum number of NAT connections to track (0 to
leave as-is).  This takes precedence over conntrackMaxPerCore and conntrackMin.

conntrack.maxPerCore - maxPerCore is the maximum number of NAT connections to track
per CPU core (0 to leave the limit as-is and ignore conntrackMin).

conntrack.min - min is the minimum value of connect-tracking records to allocate,
regardless of conntrackMaxPerCore (set conntrackMaxPerCore=0 to leave the limit as-is).
