Answer
Scheduler detects NotReady nodes, marks Pods lost, and recreates them on healthy nodes via their controllers.
Quick Answer
When a node fails, its kubelet stops sending heartbeats. The node controller marks the node NotReady and eventually evicts its Pods. Workload controllers (Deployment, ReplicaSet) notice the Pod count dropped below desired and create new Pods on healthy nodes. This is automatic — no human intervention needed.
