DaemonSet

A Kubernetes workload object that ensures a copy of a pod runs on all (or selected) nodes.

Definition

DaemonSets are used for node-level agents such as log collectors, monitoring exporters, and CNI plugins. New nodes automatically get the pod.

Example

A Fluent Bit DaemonSet collects container logs on every node.

Exam tip

One pod per node = DaemonSet.
