What happens to the deployed workload within a kubernetes cluster in case the master goes down?

Question

Accepted Answer

In case the master goes down in a Kubernetes cluster, the deployed workload continues to run as the worker nodes are still operational.

The worker nodes in the Kubernetes cluster continue to operate and manage the deployed workload even if the master node goes down.
The worker nodes are responsible for running the containers and maintaining the desired state of the cluster.
The master node being down may affect the ability to make changes or updates to the cluster, but the existing workload remains unaffected.
In case of a master node failure, it is recommended to have redundancy and high availability configurations in place to ensure minimal disruption.
