Kubernetes control plane URL access

Posted on March 9, 2022

The kubectl cluster-info returns URL where the Kubernetes control plane is running at. None of my droplets / load balancers have the public IP address returned by nslookup of that URL.

My questions are:

  • What is exactly running at the URL (some special service managed by DO that forwards the requests to the cluster) ?
  • Is it possible to apply firewall rules so kubectl can be executed only from a specific IP address (VPN) ? I saw worker-node-firewalls but I think the public firewall only accepts / drops packets to the nodes.
