What is Kubectl proxy?

Question

Could someone tell me what is kubectl proxy?

Answer 1

The Kubernetes commands are used for interacting with Kubernetes containers, within a cluster. The “kubectl proxy” command is used for running a proxy to the Kubernetes API server.

With this command, you have the control to proxy only the Kubernetes API, with part Kubernetes API’s and some static files, and to the proxy the whole Kubernetes API at a different root.

The syntax for the kubectl proxy command is:

kubectl proxy [--port=PORT] [--www=static-dir] [--www-prefix=prefix] [--api-prefix=prefix]
