Static pods are a great way to run a pod on a single node without the involvement of the Kubernetes control plane. In this lab, you will have a chance to exercise your knowledge of static pods by creating them in an existing cluster.
sudo vi /etc/kubernetes/manifests/example.yml
Anything under this path will be managed by kubelet.
Add the following line
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: beebox-diagnostic
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.14
ports:
- containerPort: 80
Restart kubelet to start the static pod:
sudo systemctl restart kubelet
Now if you try to delete it will work because it’s managed by kubelet.
Cheers
