Is Kubenetes related software automatically installed on Ubuntu?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have since yesterday noticed that the top command has been showing kubelet, kube-apiserver, kube-controller and other Kubernetes related processes running on my computer. This is alarming me and making me wonder why and what if I have been pwnd.
I have Lubuntu installed for over 2 years now. I have upgraded to 18.04 about 4 months ago. I have been using Linux Containers on this distro since it was installed.
I never use docker and barely know much about Kubernetes and don't know why these processes are running on my computer.
I also haven't seen that these software are automatically installed in Ubuntu.
So I guess my question is should these processes be on my computer if I haven't installed anything related to Kubernetes?
Also can they used for hacking purposes?

The easiest thing to do, in cases like this, is to installaptitudeand askaptitude why kubelet(andaptitude why kubeadmandaptitude why kubectl). This will tell you why these packages are needed, i.e., which other packages depend on them. Drill down until you are convinced that they are necessary, or if you aren't,apt removethem.

@Jos - oddly, aptitude replies that these package names do not exist all while top shows them running. I've tried using sudo as well.

You may have installed asnappackage. Please dosnap find kubeadm.

That's it. It was snap. I was able to find but when I do sudo snap (logs or disable or remove) kubelet, it sayssnap "kubelet" is not installed. Same for the other kube related names.

sudo snap listshows onlycore 16.2.37.4andmicrok8s v1.140. Looking this microk8s proves that this is a kubernetes tool. @Jos - Thanks for the guidance. Still no sure why this is here and why it is running commands but I will uninstall and see what happens...
