It is enabled by default since Kubernetes v1.20. Create an egress configuration file such as admin/konnectivity/egress-selector-configuration.yaml. Set the --egress-selector-config-file flag of the API Server to the path of your API Server egress configuration file. If you use UDS connection, add volumes config to the kube-apiserver\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```yaml\n   spec:\n     containers:\n       volumeMounts:\n       - name: konnectivity-uds\n         mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/konnectivity-server\n         readOnly: false\n     volumes:\n     - name: konnectivity-uds\n       hostPath:\n         path: /etc/kubernetes/konnectivity-server\n         type: DirectoryOrCreate\n```\n\nGenerate or obtain a certificate and kubeconfig for konnectivity-server. For example, you can use the OpenSSL command line tool to issue a X.509 certificate, using the cluster CA certificate /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt from a control-plane host.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```bash\nopenssl req -subj \"/CN=system:konnectivity-server\" -new -newkey rsa:2048 -noenc -out konnectivity.csr -keyout konnectivity.key\nopenssl x509 -req -in konnectivity.csr -CA /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt -CAkey /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.key -CAcreateserial -out konnectivity.crt -days 375 -sha256\nSERVER=$(kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.clusters..server}')\nkubectl --kubeconfig /etc/kubernetes/konnectivity-server.conf config set-credentials system:konnectivity-server --client-certificate konnectivity.crt --client-key konnectivity.key --embed-certs=true\nkubectl --kubeconfig /etc/kubernetes/konnectivity-server.conf config set-cluster kubernetes --server \"$SERVER\" --certificate-authority /etc/kubernetes/pki/ca.crt --embed-certs=true\nkubectl --kubeconfig /etc/kubernetes/konnectivity-server.conf config set-context system:konnectivity-server@kubernetes --cluster kubernetes --user system:konnectivity-se\n```\n\nNext, you need to deploy the Konnectivity server and agents. kubernetes-sigs/apiserver-network-proxy is a reference implementation. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
