Individual health checks are only available when KMS v1 providers are in use and the encryption config is not auto-reloaded.\n\nThe following table summarizes the health check endpoints for each KMS version\n\nSingle Healthcheck means that the only health check endpoint is /healthz/kms-providers.\n\nIndividual Healthchecks means that each KMS plugin has an associated health check endpoint based on its location in the encryption config: /healthz/kms-provider-0, /healthz/kms-provider-1 etc.\n\nThese healthcheck endpoint paths are hard coded and generated/controlled by the server. The indices for individual healthchecks corresponds to the order in which the KMS encryption config is processed.\n\nUntil the steps defined in Ensuring all secrets are encrypted are performed, the providers list should end with the identity: {} provider to allow unencrypted data to be read. Once all resources are encrypted, the identity provider should be removed to prevent the API server from honoring unencrypted data.\n\nFor details about the EncryptionConfiguration format, please check the API server encryption API reference.\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
