Decoding Internal IP Assignment for Kubernetes API

Discover the process behind Kubernetes API IP assignment.

By default, Kubernetes assigns the IP address 10.96.0.1 to the API server.

The ServiceCIDR is a configuration parameter in Kubernetes that defines the range of IP addresses that can be assigned to services within the cluster. It is a configurable value.

By default, the ServiceCIDR is set to 10.96.0.0/12 .

This means that the IP addresses in the range 10.96.0.0 to 10.111.255.255 are reserved for Kubernetes services.
