 - `--port 443:443@loadbalancer` Exposes the cluster on the host on port 443
 - `--volume ~/.k3d/p1-registries.yaml:/etc/rancher/k3s/registries.yaml` volume mount image pull secret config for k3d cluster.
 - `--volume /etc/machine-id:/etc/machine-id` volume mount so k3d nodes have a file at /etc/machine-id for fluentbit DaemonSet.
+- `--api-port 6443` port that your k8s api will use. 6443 is the standard default port for k8s api
 
 **STEP 3:**  
 Test the cluster from your local workstation. Copy the contents of the k3d kubeconfig from the EC2 instance to your local workstation. Do it manually with copy and paste.
