Answer
Kubelet ensures Pod state, manages cgroups, probes, logs, volumes, and interacts with runtime.
Quick Answer
kubelet watches Pod assignments from the API server, calls the container runtime (via CRI) to create containers, monitors container health via probes, manages volume mounts and secrets injection, reports Pod status back to the API server, and evicts Pods when the node is under resource pressure. It's the full Pod lifecycle manager at the node level.
