Worker nodes can temporarily continue functioning even if all control plane nodes fail, as kubelet operates independently using its local cache

The API server on control plane nodes is the only component that directly communicates with etcd, while other control plane components use the API server as an intermediary

The scheduler on worker nodes communicates directly with kubelet to assign pods to specific nodes based on resource requirements and constraints

The controller manager on control plane nodes reconciles the desired state with the current state by watching resource changes through the API server
