<p>Kops created a cluster as well as terraform scripts.</p>

<p>How to restart kubelet and provide new flags for garbage collection(manual approach) and how to apply them to terraform?</p>

<p>Problem occurs when I manually kill the kubelet process on master and it keeps getting restarted immediately. </p>

<p>You could change the /etc/sysconfig/kubelet file.
In the config, append / change the flags you need. Then restart the kubelet service using 
<code>$ systemctl restart kubelet</code></p>
