How to Check If a Pod Is Static

1. The pod name has the node name appended to it, like kube-apiserver-controlplane for example
2. Run kubectl get pod <podname> -o yaml
   1. It will have a property : kubernetes.io/config.source: file
   2. kubernetes.io/config.mirror annotation is also there
3. Most reliable, under ownerReferences, kind will be mentioned as Node. Example:

ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: v1
    controller: true
    kind: Node
    name: controlplane
    uid: f27d5339-c033-4a76-965e-c5730e08dac8

4. Finally, on the node you can check the manifests directory.
