+title: Customizing control plane configuration with kubeadm
+content_template: templates/concept
+weight: 50
+---
+
+{{% capture overview %}}
+
+kubeadm’s configuration exposes the following fields that can be used to override the default flags passed to control plane components such as the APIServer, ControllerManager and Scheduler:
+
+- `APIServerExtraArgs`
+- `ControllerManagerExtraArgs`
+- `SchedulerExtraArgs`
+
+These fields consist of `key: value` pairs. To override a flag for a control plane component:
+
+1.  Add the appropriate field to your configuration.
+2.  Add the flags to override to the field.
+
+For more details on each field in the configuration you can navigate to our
+[API reference pages](https://godoc.org/k8s.io/kubernetes/cmd/kubeadm/app/apis/kubeadm#MasterConfiguration).
