kube-apiserver-healthcheck
This is a small sidecar container that allows for health-checking the kube-apiserver without enabling anonymous authentication and without enabling the unauthenticated port.
It listens on port 3990 (http), and proxies a few known-safe requests to the real apiserver listening on 443. It uses a client certificate to authenticate itself to the apiserver.
This lets us turn off the unauthenticated kube-apiserver endpoint, but it also lets us have better load-balancer health-checks.
Because it runs as a sidecar next to kube-apiserver, it is in the same network namespace, and thus it can reach apiserver on https://127.0.0.1 . The kube-apiserver-healthcheck process listens on 3990, but the health checks for the apiserver container are configured for :8080 and actually go via the sidecar.
