Master in Kubernetes is a node that controls and manages a group of worker nodes. So, if that Master node goes down in Kubernetes, the outcome depends on the architecture you have. That is, Single Master or Multi-Master architecture. If you have a Single-Master architecture, then it becomes a problem, if the master node goes down, and then you cannot create more services and pods, etc. and the cluster fails.
On the other hand, if you have a multi-master cluster, even if one goes down, you can depend on other masters to get your work done.
