Description: DaemonSets are a fundamental feature in Kubernetes, a container orchestration platform, that ensures a copy of a pod runs on all or some nodes in a cluster. This is particularly useful for applications that require a service on each node, such as monitoring agents, log collectors, or network services. By implementing a DaemonSet, Kubernetes manages the creation and lifecycle of the pods, ensuring that there is always an active instance on the selected nodes. If a new node is added to the cluster, Kubernetes automatically deploys the corresponding pod on that node. Conversely, if a node is removed, the associated pod is also deleted. This functionality allows system administrators and developers to maintain a more efficient and consistent infrastructure, facilitating resource management and the deployment of essential services in the container environment. DaemonSets are a powerful tool for automation and scalability in production environments, enabling organizations to optimize resource usage and improve the resilience of their applications.
