<p>I am trying to add some extra flags to my kubernetes controller manager and I am updating the flags in the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-controller-manager.yaml file. But the changes that I am adding are not taking effect. The kubelet is detecting changes to the file and is restarting the pods but once restarted they come back with the old flags.</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>So it seems that any file under /etc/kubernetes/manifests is loaded by the kubelet. So when I was adding the new flags I was taking a backup of the existing file with a .bak extension but kubelet was still loading the .bak file instead of the new .yaml file. Seems to me thats a bug. Anyways, happy to have spotted the error. </p>
