During a county control-plane reinstall, kubelet cannot pull apiserver and etcd images because the registry is unreachable. What fails as a result?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Static pods still need real container images from a registry—no image, no apiserver. A registry outage during reinstall leaves those control-plane pods stuck until pulls succeed.
Full Explanation
Kubelet must pull the container images referenced by static pod manifests before control-plane pods can run. Registry outages or pull errors prevent kube-apiserver, etcd, and related static pods from starting. Ingress secrets, CoreDNS ConfigMaps, and kubectl top do not substitute for those image pulls.
