Feature Gates

With Feature Gates additional features are available for the kube-apiserver component.

Each add-on has a specific stage depending on the Kubernetes version:

  • Alpha — disabled by default, can be enabled.
  • Beta — enabled by default only up to Kubernetes 1.24, see official documentation for details. Cannot be disabled due to cluster stability maintenance policy.
  • GA (General Availability) — included in kube-apiserver kernel, enabled by default, cannot be disabled.

To activate Feature Gates, you must specify the names of the required add-ons as a list when creating or updating a cluster. Next, kube-apiserver will be started or restarted with the --feature-gates=... option and the specified additions.

If you pass an add-on that is not available for the current version of Kubernetes, an error will be returned.

Get information about available controllers for each available version of Kubernetes by querying API.
