Kubelet and Kube-Proxy on Windows don't have an action if the Windows service stops, resulting in the worker node being "Not Ready."

KubeSvcMonitor is a simple Windows Service that monitors Kubelete and Kube-Proxy service status. In case one or both services stops, KubeSvcMonitor will restart the services within 30 seconds.

New-Service -Name "KubeSvcMonitor" -Description "Monitors Kubernetes services and restarts them if they are stopped" -BinaryPathName <full-path-of-exe>
or
sc create "KubeSvcMonitor" binpath=<full-path-of-exe>

The binpath must contain the following files:

• KubeSvcMonitor.exe
• KubeSvcMonitor.exe.config

Start-Service -Name "KubeSvcMonitor"
or
sc start "KubeSvcMonitor"

Stop-Service -Name "KubeSvcMonitor"
or
sc stop "KubeSvcMonitor"

Remove-Service -Name "KubeSvcMonitor"
or
sc delete "KubeSvcMonitor"
