What happens when the Kubernetes master fails? : <p>I've been trying to figure out what happens when the Kubernetes master fails in a cluster that only has one master. Do web requests still get routed to pods if this happens, or does the entire system just shut down?</p>

<p>According to the OpenShift 3 documentation, which is built on top of Kubernetes, (<a href="https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.2/architecture/infrastructure_components/kubernetes_infrastructure.html" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.2/architecture/infrastructure_components/kubernetes_infrastructure.html</a>), if a master fails, nodes continue to function properly, but the system looses its ability to manage pods. Is this the same for vanilla Kubernetes?</p>
