      --dynamic-serving-ca-secret-name string        name of the secret used to store the CA that signs serving certificates certificates
      --dynamic-serving-ca-secret-namespace string   namespace of the secret used to store the CA that signs serving certificates
      --dynamic-serving-dns-names strings            DNS names that should be present on certificates generated by the dynamic serving CA
      --healthz-port int                             port number to listen on for insecure healthz connections (default 6080)
