          If using a Kubelet config file, edit the file to set `TLSCipherSuites` to

          or to a subset of these values.
          If using executable arguments, edit the kubelet service file
          $kubeletsvc on each worker node and
          set the --tls-cipher-suites parameter as follows, or to a subset of these values.
