--- Comment #1 from Eric Paris eparis@redhat.com --- cadvisor is an optional requirement. upstream they use the kubelet to launch a cadvisor pod on every node instead of having it installed on every node. I'd like to get there someday.
I'm ok making our cadvisor binary a runtime requirement for now, but I don't know if it's needed. I dropped it since cadvisor sometimes gets itself into a bit of a mess and spins at 100% cpu and we don't have the time to run that down, especially since most of kube works without cadvisor installed...
