Answer
Kubelet reserves system resources (OS, eviction thresholds, kernel memory).
Quick Answer
Kubelet enforces node-level resource reservations (kube-reserved, system-reserved). Even if the node has free allocatable capacity, if a Pod's requests exceed the node's allocatable resources, kubelet rejects it. Also, if the node has reached its max-pods limit, or if the image can't be pulled, or if required volumes aren't available, kubelet refuses the Pod.
