Configuring Your Kubernetes Cluster on the Next Level
summary
ComponentConfig replaces dozens of CLI flags with a single --config file with apiVersion and kind, implements structured, versioned Go types, and automates conversions/defaulting between external versions and one internal type. The kubelet implementation is the most tested and kubelet is beta; others alpha; kube-proxy and scheduler already read files while controller-manager and API server still need refactoring. Example Go code and generated conversion/scheme helpers live on GitHub and demonstrate reading, defaulting, converting, and serializing configs successfully.
