This component accomplishes that in the following ways:

1. By installing a separate, very basic "CNI plugin" binary onto the node to forward low-level pod lifecycle events (CmdAdd/CmdDel/etc) from whatever node-level CNI subsystem is in use to this node agent for processing via socket.
1. By running as a node-level daemonset that:

      # Note this gives the DaemonSet a relatively high privilege, as modifying pod metadata/status can have wider impacts.
      labelPods: false
      # deletePods will delete any broken pod. These will then be rescheduled, hopefully onto a node that is fully ready.
      # Note this gives the DaemonSet a relatively high privilege, as it can delete any Pod.
      deletePods: false
