By default, the K3s kube-apiserver complies with this test. Changes to these values may cause regression, therefore ensure that all apiserver clients support the new TLS configuration before applying it in production deployments.

By default, K3s automatically provides the TLS certificate and private key for the Kubelet.
They are generated and located at /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/serving-kubelet.crt and /var/lib/rancher/k3s/agent/serving-kubelet.key
If for some reason you need to provide your own certificate and key, you can set the
