I have a local minikube installation. I want to change the authentication mechanism for the api-server and restart and test it out. All the documentation I have read lacks this information. Has anybody got experience in it.
Thanks in Advance.
Yes you can. The kubernetes API Server, Controller manager, and scheduler are all run as static manifests in minikube.
So, in fact, in your example: Any change to the manifest will automatically lead to them being restarted instantly.
In order to make the modification, just use vi inside of /etc/kubernetes/manifests on whatever file you want to edit, and you'll see that the apiserver instantly restarts.
To look at the logs of the restart, you can look in /var/log/containers/ where each of the individual minikube services run.
