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. The kube-scheduler can take several options. # OPTIONS **--address**=127.0.0.1 The IP address to serve on (set to 0.0.0.0 for all interfaces) **--algorithm-provider**="DefaultProvider" The scheduling algorithm provider to use, one of: DefaultProvider **--alsologtostderr**=false log to standard error as well as files **--kubeconfig**="" Path to kubeconfig file with authorization and master location information. **--log_backtrace_at**=:0 when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace **--log_dir**= If non-empty, write log files in this directory **--log_flush_frequency**=5s Maximum number of seconds between log flushes **--logtostderr**=true log to standard error instead of files **--master**="" The address of the Kubernetes API server (overrides any value in kubeconfig) **--policy-config-file**="" File with scheduler policy configuration **--port**=10251 The port that the scheduler's http service runs on **--profiling**=true Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/ **--stderrthreshold**=2 logs at or above this threshold go to stderr **--v**=0 log level for V logs **--version**=false Print version information and quit **--vmodule**= comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging # EXAMPLES ``` /usr/bin/kube-scheduler --logtostderr=true --v=0 --master=127.0.0.1:8080 ``` # HISTORY October 2014, Originally compiled by Scott Collier (scollier@redhat.com) based on the kubernetes source material and internal work.
