Which component of the Kubernetes architecture is responsible for integration with the CRI container runtime?

Answer options

• A. kubeadm
• B. kubelet
• C. kube-aplserver
• D. kubectl

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The kubelet is the primary component that communicates with the CRI container runtime, managing the lifecycle of containers on the node. Kubeadm is a tool for managing Kubernetes clusters, kube-apiserver is responsible for API gateway functions, and kubectl is a command-line tool for interacting with the Kubernetes API, none of which handle container runtime integration.
