Answer
Kubernetes stops scheduling Pods on it and may evict existing Pods for safety.
Quick Answer
When a node goes NotReady, the node controller marks all its Pods as Unknown. After a timeout (default 5 minutes), Kubernetes evicts those Pods and reschedules them on healthy nodes — but only if they belong to a ReplicaSet, Deployment, or StatefulSet. Standalone Pods don't get rescheduled automatically.
