 Configuration for the Kubernetes worker daemon (the Kubelet).  This document
-contains two keys: ``arguments`` and ``images``.  The ``arguments`` are
-appended directly to the ``kubelet`` command line, along with arguments that
-are controlled by Promenade more directly.
+contains three keys: ``arguments``, ``images``, and ``config_file_overrides``.
+The ``arguments`` are appended directly to the ``kubelet`` command line,
+along with arguments that are controlled by Promenade more directly.
+The ``config_file_overrides`` are appended directly to the static kubelet
+configuration file and only consists of a subset of kubelet arguments.
+More information regarding the format for this key can be found here_.
 
 The only image that is configurable is for the ``pause`` container.
