<!-- overview -->
This page contains an overview of the various feature gates an administrator
can specify on different Kubernetes components.
See [feature stages](#feature-stages) for an explanation of the stages for a feature.
<!-- body -->
## Overview
Feature gates are a set of key=value pairs that describe Kubernetes features.
You can turn these features on or off using the `--feature-gates` command line flag
on each Kubernetes component.
Each Kubernetes component lets you enable or disable a set of feature gates that
are relevant to that component.
Use `-h` flag to see a full set of feature gates for all components.
To set feature gates for a component, such as kubelet, use the `--feature-gates`
flag assigned to a list of feature pairs:
```shell
--feature-gates="...,GracefulNodeShutdown=true"
```
The following tables are a summary of the feature gates that you can set on
different Kubernetes components.
- The "Since" column contains the Kubernetes release when a feature is introduced
or its release stage is changed.
- The "Until" column, if not empty, contains the last Kubernetes release in which
you can still use a feature gate.
- If a feature is in the Alpha or Beta state, you can find the feature listed
in the [Alpha/Beta feature gate table](#feature-gates-for-alpha-or-beta-features).
- If a feature is stable you can find all stages for that feature listed in the
[Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table](#feature-gates-for-graduated-or-deprecated-features).
- The [Graduated/Deprecated feature gate table](#feature-gates-for-graduated-or-deprecated-features)
also lists deprecated and withdrawn features.

## Using a feature
### Feature stages
A feature can be in *Alpha*, *Beta* or *GA* stage.
An *Alpha* feature means:
* Disabled by default.
* Might be buggy. Enabling the feature may expose bugs.
* Support for feature may be dropped at any time without notice.
* The API may change in incompatible ways in a later software release without notice.
* Recommended for use only in short-lived testing clusters, due to increased
risk of bugs and lack of long-term support.
A *Beta* feature means:
* Enabled by default.
* The feature is well tested. Enabling the feature is considered safe.
* Support for the overall feature will not be dropped, though details may change.
* The schema and/or semantics of objects may change in incompatible ways in a
subsequent beta or stable release. When this happens, we will provide instructions
for migrating to the next version. This may require deleting, editing, and
re-creating API objects. The editing process may require some thought.
This may require downtime for applications that rely on the feature.
* Recommended for only non-business-critical uses because of potential for
incompatible changes in subsequent releases. If you have multiple clusters
that can be upgraded independently, you may be able to relax this restriction.
{{< note >}}
Please do try *Beta* features and give feedback on them!
After they exit beta, it may not be practical for us to make more changes.
{{< /note >}}
A *General Availability* (GA) feature is also referred to as a *stable* feature. It means:
* The feature is always enabled; you cannot disable it.
* The corresponding feature gate is no longer needed.
* Stable versions of features will appear in released software for many subsequent versions.
## List of feature gates {#feature-gates}
Each feature gate is designed for enabling/disabling a specific feature:

resources from API server in chunks.
- `APIPriorityAndFairness`: Enable managing request concurrency with
prioritization and fairness at each server. (Renamed from `RequestManagement`)
- `APIResponseCompression`: Compress the API responses for `LIST` or `GET` requests.
- `APIServerIdentity`: Assign each API server an ID in a cluster.
- `APIServerTracing`: Add support for distributed tracing in the API server.
- `Accelerators`: Provided an early form of plugin to enable Nvidia GPU support when using
Docker Engine; no longer available. See
[Device Plugins](/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/compute-storage-net/device-plugins/) for
an alternative.
- `AdvancedAuditing`: Enable [advanced auditing](/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/audit/#advanced-audit)
- `AffinityInAnnotations`: Enable setting
[Pod affinity or anti-affinity](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/#affinity-and-anti-affinity).
- `AllowExtTrafficLocalEndpoints`: Enable a service to route external requests to node local endpoints.
- `AllowInsecureBackendProxy`: Enable the users to skip TLS verification of

that can be attached to a node.
See [dynamic volume limits](/docs/concepts/storage/storage-limits/#dynamic-volume-limits) for more details.
