Kubelet

Kubelet is the Kubernetes Node Agent, and it communicates with the control plane and is responsible for starting and running container scheduled in that node.

Kubelet runs on each node. Its primary function is to make sure that assigned pods are running on the node.

  • It watches for any new Pod assignments for the node. If a Pod is assigned to the node Kubelet is running on, it will pull the Pod definition and use it to create containers through Docker or any other supported container engine.
