Kubernetes finding the leader

Hi

Following is a good way of finding the leader, usually also the master node.

kubectl get endpoints kube-scheduler -n kube-system -o yaml

Here is my example, taken from a k8s cluster i have created on AWS with 3 nodes, 1 master and 2 workers.

apiVersion: v1

kind: Endpoints

metadata:

  annotations:

    control-plane.alpha.kubernetes.io/leader: '{"holderIdentity":"ip-172-31-15-105_805a03a9-0065-11ea-9ec9-060d741267c8","leaseDurationSeconds":15,"acquireTime":"2019-11-06T07:18:04Z","renewTime":"2019-11-06T07:38:49Z","leaderTransitions":2}'

  creationTimestamp: 2019-11-04T14:36:03Z

  name: kube-scheduler

  namespace: kube-system

  resourceVersion: "70343"

  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/endpoints/kube-scheduler

  uid: 6db973fb-ff10-11e9-ab52-060d741267c8
