Where to find the Kubernetes Scheduler Configuration file in local system - kubernetes

Question

I am currently working in Minikube cluster and looking to change some flags of kubernetes scheduler configuration, but I can't find it. The file looks something like-
apiVersion: kubescheduler.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: KubeSchedulerConfiguration
algorithmSource:
provider: DefaultProvider
...
disablePreemption: true
What is it's name and where can I find it?

Posting this answer as a community wiki to set a baseline and to provide additional resources/references rather than giving a definitive solution.

I haven't found the file that you are referencing (KubeSchedulerConfiguration) in minikube.
The minikube provisioning process does not create it nor references it in the configuration files (/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml and the --config=PATH parameter).
I'd reckon you could take a look on other Kubernetes solutions where you can configure how your cluster is created (how kube-scheduler is configured). Some of the options are:
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Setup: Production environment: Tools: Kubeadm: Create cluster and also:
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Setup: Production environment: Tools: Kubeadm: Control plane flags
Github.com: Kubernetes sigs: Kubespray
A side note!
Both: kubespray and minikube are using kubeadm as a bootstrapper!
I would also consider creating additional scheduler that would be responsible for spawning your workload (by referencing in the YAML manifests):
Kubernetes.io: Docs: Tasks: Extend Kubernetes: Configure multiple schedulers
I haven't tested it extensively and in the long term but I've managed to include the YAML manifest that you are referencing for the kube-scheduler.
Disclaimers!
Please consider below example as a workaround!
The method described below is not persistent.
Steps:
Start your minikube instance with the --extra-config
Connect to your minikube instance and edit/add files:
/etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml
newly created KubeSchedulerConfiguration
Delete the failing kube-scheduler Pod and wait for it to be recreated.
Start your minikube instance with the --extra-config
As previously said you can add some additional parameters for your $ minikube start to be passed down to the provisioning process.
In this setup you can either pass it with $ minikube start ... or do it manually later on.
$ minikube start --extra-config=scheduler.config="/etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml"
Above parameter will add the - --config=/etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml to the command of your kube-scheduler. It will look for the file in the mentioned location.
Connect to your minikube instance ($ minikube ssh) and edit/add files:
Your kube-scheduler will fail as you've passed an argument (config) that is incorrect (lack of file). To work around this you will need to:
add: /etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml with your desired configuration
modify: /etc/kubernetes/manifests/kube-scheduler.yaml:
add to: volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /etc/kubernetes/sched.yaml
name: scheduler
readOnly: true
add to volumes:
- hostPath:
path: /etc/kubernetes/sched.conf
type: FileOrCreate
name: scheduler
Delete the failing kube-scheduler Pod and wait for it to be recreated.
You will need to redeploy modified scheduler to get its new config running:
$ kubectl delete pod -n kube-system kube-scheduler-minikube
After some time you should see your kube-scheduler in Ready state.
