In order to reduce the attack surface of the Scheduler, which default parameter should be...

Thekube-schedulerexposes aprofiling/debugging endpointwhen --profiling=true (default).

This can unnecessarily increase the attack surface.

Best practice: set --profiling=false in production.

Exact extract (Kubernetes Docs – kube-scheduler flags):

“--profiling (default true): Enable profiling via web interface host:port/debug/pprof/.”

Why others are wrong:

--scheduler-name: just identifies the scheduler, not a security risk.

--secure-kubeconfig: not a valid flag.

--bind-address: changing it limits exposure but is not the default risk parameter for profiling.
