A static Pod is a Pod the kubelet runs directly from a manifest file on disk, without the API server or scheduler being involved. The kubelet watches a directory, /etc/kubernetes/manifests on kubeadm clusters (set by staticPodPath in the kubelet config at /var/lib/kubelet/config.yaml). Put a Pod YAML file there and the kubelet starts it; delete the file and the kubelet stops it.
