3.1.2 Ensure that the proxy kubeconfig file ownership is set to root:root

Information

If kube-proxy is running, ensure that the file ownership of its kubeconfig file is set to root:root.

Rationale:

The kubeconfig file for kube-proxy controls various parameters for the kube-proxy service in the worker node. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file. The file should be owned by root:root.

Solution

Run the below command (based on the file location on your system) on the each worker node. For example,

chown root:root <proxy kubeconfig file>

Impact:

None

Default Value:

See the GKE documentation for the default value.
