- kube-controller-manager currently needs a writable `--cert-dir` (default is `/var/run/kubernetes`) for generating self-signed certificates, when no `--tls-cert-file` or `--tls-private-key-file` are provided.
- The `system:kube-controller-manager` ClusterRole lacks permission to `get` the `configmap` extension-apiserver-authentication. kube-controller-manager errors if run with a service account bound to the clusterrole.
