The apiserver owns and manages the kubernetes.default service.
It has 3 different options to reconcile the endpoints that belong to
that service:
- None: endpoints are handled by an external party.
- MasterCount: legacy, it reconciles based on the endpoints generated
and a flag specifying the number of master on the cluster.
- Lease: default since 1.11, each apiserver writes a lease in etcd
and renews periodically, the endpoints are generated based on the
existing leases.
It seems that when the default was set for the lease reconciler, the
controlplane code wasn't updated and kept using the master count
reconciler.
This also starts the deprecation of the master count reconciler in
favor of the lease reconciler.
