## API Reference
|
|
|
|
* [Glossary](/docs/reference/glossary/) - a comprehensive, standardized list of Kubernetes terminology
|
|
|
|
* [Kubernetes API Reference](/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/)
|
|
* [One-page API Reference for Kubernetes {{< param "version" >}}](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{< param "version" >}}/)
|
|
* [Using The Kubernetes API](/docs/reference/using-api/) - overview of the API for Kubernetes.
|
|
* [API access control](/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/) - details on how Kubernetes controls API access
|
|
* [Well-Known Labels, Annotations and Taints](/docs/reference/labels-annotations-taints/)
|
|
|
|
## Officially supported client libraries
|
|
|
|
To call the Kubernetes API from a programming language, you can use
|
|
[client libraries](/docs/reference/using-api/client-libraries/). Officially supported
|
|
client libraries:
|
|
|
|
- [Kubernetes Go client library](https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go/)
|
|
- [Kubernetes Python client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python)
|
|
- [Kubernetes Java client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/java)
|
|
- [Kubernetes JavaScript client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript)
|
|
- [Kubernetes Dotnet client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp)
|
|
- [Kubernetes Haskell Client library](https://github.com/kubernetes-client/haskell)
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
* [kubectl](/docs/reference/kubectl/overview/) - Main CLI tool for running commands and managing Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
* [JSONPath](/docs/reference/kubectl/jsonpath/) - Syntax guide for using [JSONPath expressions](https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/) with kubectl.
|
|
* [kubeadm](/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/) - CLI tool to easily provision a secure Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
## Components
|
|
|
|
* [kubelet](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kubelet/) - The
|
|
primary agent that runs on each node. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs
|
|
and ensures that the described containers are running and healthy.
|
|
* [kube-apiserver](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-apiserver/) -
|
|
REST API that validates and configures data for API objects such as pods,
|
|
services, replication controllers.
|
|
* [kube-controller-manager](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-controller-manager/) - Daemon that embeds the core control loops shipped with Kubernetes.
|
|
* [kube-proxy](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-proxy/) - Can
|
|
do simple TCP/UDP stream forwarding or round-robin TCP/UDP forwarding across
|
|
a set of back-ends.
|
|
* [kube-scheduler](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-scheduler/) - Scheduler that manages availability, performance, and capacity.
|
|
|
|
* [Scheduler Policies](/docs/reference/scheduling/policies)
|
|
* [Scheduler Profiles](/docs/reference/scheduling/config#profiles)
|
|
|
|
## Config APIs
|
|
|
|
This section hosts the documentation for "unpublished" APIs which are used to
|
|
configure kubernetes components or tools. Most of these APIs are not exposed
|
|
by the API server in a RESTful way though they are essential for a user or an
|
|
operator to use or manage a cluster.
|
|
|
|
* [kubelet configuration (v1beta1)](/docs/reference/config-api/kubelet-config.v1beta1/)
|
|
* [kube-scheduler configuration (v1beta1)](/docs/reference/config-api/kube-scheduler-config.v1beta1/)
|
|
* [kube-scheduler policy reference (v1)](/docs/reference/config-api/kube-scheduler-policy-config.v1/)
|
|
* [kube-proxy configuration (v1alpha1)](/docs/reference/config-api/kube-proxy-config.v1alpha1/)
|
|
* [`audit.k8s.io/v1` API](/docs/reference/config-api/apiserver-audit.v1/)
|
|
* [Client authentication API (v1beta1)](/docs/reference/config-api/client-authentication.v1beta1/)
|
|
* [WebhookAdmission configuration (v1)](/docs/reference/config-api/apiserver-webhookadmission.v1/)
