<pre><code>Kubectl get cs -o ymal
</code></pre>
<p>returns the healthy status for the control plane, but due some some reason,</p>
<pre><code>kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
</code></pre>
<p>does not show any control plane pods like api-server, schedular, controller manager etc.</p>
<p>I can also see the manifest file at /etc/kubernetes/manifests location as well.</p>
<p>Please help what am I missing.</p>

<p>GKE does not run the control plane in pods. Google does not really talk about how they run it but it's likely as containers in some GKE-specific management system.</p>
