Answer
Kubelet ensures containers match desired state and restarts them when needed.
Quick Answer
Kubelet is the node agent that talks to the API server and ensures the containers described in assigned Pods are actually running. It watches for Pod assignments, starts containers via the container runtime (containerd), runs health checks (liveness/readiness probes), and reports node and Pod status back to the control plane.
