# kube-controllers

The `tigera/kube-controllers` container runs a set of controllers that monitor the Kubernetes API and reconcile cluster state with the Calico Cloud datastore.

- To configure the controllers, see the [KubeControllersConfiguration](https://docs.tigera.io/calico-cloud/reference/resources/kubecontrollersconfig.md) resource reference.
- For exported Prometheus metrics, see [Prometheus statistics](https://docs.tigera.io/calico-cloud/reference/component-resources/kube-controllers/prometheus.md).
