docs	Dapr arguments and annotations for daprd, CLI, and Kubernetes	Arguments and annotations	The arguments and annotations available when configuring Dapr in different environments	300	/operations/hosting/kubernetes/kubernetes-annotations/

This table is meant to help users understand the equivalent options for running Dapr sidecars in different contexts--via the [CLI]({{< ref cli-overview.md >}}) directly, via daprd, or on [Kubernetes]({{< ref kubernetes-overview.md >}}) via annotations.

daprd	Dapr CLI	CLI shorthand	Kubernetes annotations	Description
--allowed-origins	not supported		not supported	Allowed HTTP origins (default "*")
--app-id	--app-id	-i	dapr.io/app-id	The unique ID of the application. Used for service discovery, state encapsulation and the pub/sub consumer ID
--app-port	--app-port	-p	dapr.io/app-port	This parameter tells Dapr which port your application is listening on
--app-ssl	--app-ssl		dapr.io/app-ssl	Sets the URI scheme of the app to https and attempts an SSL connection
--components-path	--components-path	-d	not supported	Path for components directory. If empty, components will not be loaded.
--config	--config	-c	dapr.io/config	Tells Dapr which Configuration CRD to use
--control-plane-address	not supported		not supported	Address for a Dapr control plane
--dapr-grpc-port	--dapr-grpc-port		not supported	gRPC port for the Dapr API to listen on (default "50001")

--enable-profiling	--enable-profiling		dapr.io/enable-profiling	Enable profiling
--unix-domain-socket	--unix-domain-socket	-u	dapr.io/unix-domain-socket-path	On Linux, when communicating with the Dapr sidecar, use unix domain sockets for lower latency and greater throughput compared to TCP ports. Not available on Windows OS
