[question] why I can see "Running pod on a shutdown master"?

[hchyue]

all node joined to node37. after I shutdown node37, I run command ' kubectl get pod -A | grep node37' from node38, display some pod still running on node37. In fact they are not running. confused

Pod status is reported by the Kubelet. When you stop or shut down the node, the kubelet is no longer running to report the status of pods. Kubernetes does not know if they are running or not, so it just leaves them in the last state reported by the node. This is normal behavior. What were you expecting to see?
