kubelet

Kubelet is a key component of Kubernetes, an open-source platform that manages containerized applications. Think of it as a manager for individual servers (or nodes) in a larger system. Kubelet ensures that the containers—small, lightweight packages of software—are running as intended. It communicates with the Kubernetes control plane and responds to requests, monitors application health, and restarts containers if they fail. Essentially, kubelet makes sure that your applications are operating smoothly on each server and helps maintain the desired state of the deployed software.

    Kubelet is an essential component of Kubernetes, an open-source platform for managing containerized applications. It acts as an agent on each worker machine in a Kubernetes cluster, ensuring that the containers run as intended. Kubelet receives instructions from the Kubernetes master, monitors the health of the containers, and reports back on their status. If a container fails, Kubelet can restart it or even create new instances to maintain the desired application performance and availability. In essence, Kubelet helps keep applications running smoothly in a reliable and automated way.
