17 The kubelet is the primary "node agent" that runs on each node. The
18 kubelet works in terms of a PodSpec. A PodSpec is a YAML or JSON object
19 that describes a pod. The kubelet takes a set of PodSpecs that are
20 provided through various mechanisms (primarily through the apiserver)
21 and ensures that the containers described in those PodSpecs are running
22 and healthy. The kubelet doesn't manage containers which were not
23 created by Kubernetes.

26 Other than from an PodSpec from the apiserver, there are three ways
27 that a container manifest can be provided to the Kubelet.
