In this section we will take a look at kubelet.

Kubelet is the sole point of contact for the kubernetes cluster

The kubelet will create the pods on the nodes, the scheduler only decides which pods goes where.

Kubeadm does not deploy kubelet by default. You must manually download and install it.
Download the kubelet binary from the kubernetes release pages kubelet. For example: To download kubelet v1.13.0, Run the below command.
```
$ wget https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.13.0/bin/linux/amd64/kubelet
```
Extract it
Run it as a service

You can also see the running process and affective options by listing the process on worker node and searching for kubelet.
