Absolutely @confused genius, the kube-proxy process and its config files reside inside the kube-proxy pod.
Also to know is, how do I change my kube-proxy settings?
Usually to change of metricsBindAddress: can be achieved by editing ConfigMap and delete kube-proxy pod or use rollout restart on DaemonSet . Root cause of this issue was that this change was blocked by OP’s environment – Yandex Cloud.
Secondly, how do I turn on kube-proxy?
The kube-proxy on all your Kubernetes nodes runs as a Kubernetes DaemonSet and its configuration is stored on a Kubernetes ConfigMap . To make any changes or add/remove options you will have to edit the kube-proxy DaemonSet or ConfigMap on the kube-system namespace.
Is kube-proxy necessary?
One of the most critical (if not the most) is kubernetes networking. There are many layers for kubernetes networking — pod networking, service IP, external IP cluster IP etc. Somewhere along this, kube-proxy plays an important role.
What happens if kube-proxy is down?
kube-proxy plays a kind of enforcer whereby it takes charge of checking with master, syncing the information and enforcing the rules on the list. If the master node(API server) is down, the cluster will not be able to respond to API commands or deploy nodes.
What is kubectl proxy command?

What is Kubernetes kube-proxy?
The Kubernetes network proxy (aka kube-proxy) is a daemon running on each node. It basically reflects the services defined in the cluster and manages the rules to load-balance requests to a service’s backend pods. A service load-balances incoming requests between the backend pods.
Which account is the kube-proxy role assigned to it?
A ServiceAccount for kube-proxy is created in the kube-system namespace; then kube-proxy is deployed as a DaemonSet: The credentials ( ca. crt and token ) to the control plane come from the ServiceAccount. The location (URL) of the API server comes from a ConfigMap.
