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:
