Kubernetes Static Pods Explained | How to Create & Manage Static Pods

In this Kubernetes tutorial, we explore Static Pods — a special type of pod that is managed directly by the kubelet instead of the Kubernetes control plane. Static Pods are defined as manifest files on a node’s file system, and the kubelet ensures they are always running on that node.

Unlike regular pods created through Deployments, ReplicaSets, or kubectl apply, Static Pods in Kubernetes:

1. Are not scheduled by the Kubernetes scheduler
2. Are perfect for critical system components (e.g., kube-proxy, monitoring agents, bootstrap services)
3. Automatically restart if deleted (until the manifest file is removed)

In this hands-on demo, we’ll cover:
✅ What are Static Pods in Kubernetes
✅ Why and when to use Static Pods
✅ How kubelet manages Static Pods from the manifest directory
✅ Creating a Static Pod in RKE2 Kubernetes
✅ Why deleting Static Pods with kubectl delete doesn’t work permanently
✅ How to remove Static Pods completely
