I’m looking for a breakdown of the minimal requirements for a kubelet implementation. Something like sequence diagrams/descriptions and APIs. I’m looking to write a minimal kubelet I can run on a reasonably capable microcontroller so that app binaries can be loaded and managed from an existing cluster. (the container engine would actually flash to a connected microcontroller and restart). I’ve been looking through the kubelet code and there’s a lot to follow so any starting points would be helpful.
A related question, does a kubelet need to run gRPC or can it fall back to a RESTful api? (there’s no existing gRPC I can run on the micro but there is nanopb and existing https APIs)
