<p>I accidentally did: <code>k delete service/kubernetes</code>. it sounds like an essential service... so i would think deleting would break the kubernetes cluster but somehow the service just came back.</p>
<h3>will deleting the service &quot;service/kubernetes&quot; break my kubernetes cluster? if no why?</h3>
<p>related question: what causes the service <code>service/kubernetes</code> to come back automatically?</p>

<p>A part of the control plane run controllers, and there is a controller that is responsible for the <code>kubernetes</code> Service. See <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/controlplane/controller.go" rel="nofollow noreferrer">controlplane controller</a></p>
