Using the playbook scale.yml to scale out cluster worker nodes will restart kube-proxy.

[leolingg]

What happened?

I noticed that using the playbook scale.yml to scale out the cluster worker nodes will restart kube-proxy.

The corresponding task: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray/blob/master/roles/kubernetes/kubeadm/tasks/main.yml#L204

Is it necessary to restart kube-proxy in the scenario where only worker nodes are being added?

What did you expect to happen?

In the case of only scaling out worker nodes, I don't think it is necessary to restart kube-proxy, so I believe this scenario can be optimized.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

This can be reproduced by using the playbook scale.yml to scale out the cluster worker nodes.
