title: Practical consequences of missing consensus on a Kubernetes cluster?
body: <p>What exactly are the practical consequences of missing consensus on a Kubernetes cluster? Or in other words: which functions on a Kubernetes cluster require consensus? What will work, what won't work? </p>
  
  <p>For example (and really only for example):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>will existing pods keep running?</li>
  <li>can pods still be scaled horizontally?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Example scenario: A cluster with two nodes loses one node. No consensus possible.</p>
