# `worker` Stanza
The `worker` stanza configures Boundary worker-specific parameters.
```hcl
worker {
name = "example-worker"
description = "An example worker"
public_addr = "5.1.23.198"
}
```
- `name` - Specifies a unique name of this worker within the Boundary worker
cluster.
- `description` - Specifies a friendly description of this worker.
- `public_addr` - Specifies the public host or IP address (and optionally port)
at which the worker can be reached _by clients for proxying_. This defaults to
the address of the listener marked for `proxy` purpose. This is especially
useful for cloud environments that do not bind a publicly accessible IP to a NIC
on the host directly, such as an Amazon EIP.
- `controllers` - A list of hosts/IP addresses and optionally ports for reaching
controllers. The port will default to :9201 if not specified.
- KMS block designated for `worker-auth` - This is the KMS configuration for
authentication between the workers and controllers and must be present. Example (not safe for production!):
```hcl kms "aead" {
purpose = "worker-auth"
aead_type = "aes-gcm"
key = "8fZBjCUfN0TzjEGLQldGY4+iE9AkOvCfjh7+p0GtRBQ="
key_id = "global_worker-auth"
}
```
# Complete Configuration Example
```hcl
listener "tcp" {
purpose = "proxy"
tls_disable = true
}
worker {
# Name attr must be unique across workers
name = "demo-worker-1"
description = "A default worker created demonstration"
# Workers must be able to reach controllers on :9202
controllers = [
"10.0.0.1",
"10.0.0.2",
"10.0.0.3",
]
public_addr = "myhost.mycompany.com"
}
# must be same key as used on controller config
kms "aead" {
purpose = "worker-auth"
aead_type = "aes-gcm"
key = "8fZBjCUfN0TzjEGLQldGY4+iE9AkOvCfjh7+p0GtRBQ="
key_id = "global_worker-auth"
}
```
