DaemonSet - CI/CD Glossary Definition
A DaemonSet ensures one copy of a pod runs on every node (or every node matching a selector), and automatically adds the pod as nodes join. It is used for node-level agents such as log shippers, metrics agents, and CNI plugins.
Why it matters
Because a DaemonSet tracks node count, scaling the cluster up automatically schedules the agent onto new nodes, with no change to the CD pipeline.
