Answer from AI

In Kubernetes, the creation and running of containers on cluster nodes are managed by a component called kubelet.

Kubelet is an agent that runs on each node and is responsible for:

  • Receiving tasks (PodSpec) from the Kubernetes API server.
  • Starting and monitoring containers according to specifications.
  • Sending the status of the node and pods back to the API server.

Thus, kubelet ensures that the containers described in the manifests are indeed started and running on a specific node.
