          If using executable arguments, edit the kubelet service file
          on each worker node and
          set the --tls-cipher-suites parameter as follows, or to a subset of these values.
          --tls-cipher-suites=TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
          Based on your system, restart the kubelet service. For example:
          systemctl daemon-reload
          systemctl restart kubelet.service
        scored: false
