Frequently asked questions

What port does Kubernetes API use?

Kubernetes API commonly uses these ports: 6443. The default port is 6443 and 6443. These are community database references — actual configuration may differ.

How do I check if Kubernetes API is running?

Run sudo ss -tlpn 'sport = :6443 or sport = :6443' on the server to check for listening processes on these ports. Also use systemctl status <service> to check the service state. Without root you may not see other users' processes. A listening port alone does not prove the software identity — verify with the config file and process name.
