In this episode of Pithoracademy’s Deep Dive Podcast, we explore Kubernetes DaemonSets — the essential controller used when you need to run a copy of a Pod on every node in your cluster.
DaemonSets are perfect for system-level tasks like logging, monitoring, and networking. Learn when to use them, how they work, and the key differences from Deployments.
🎧 We covered:
🔄 What is a DaemonSet in Kubernetes?
🧠 Core concepts for beginners: node-level pod scheduling
📌 Key characteristics: one pod per node, auto-scheduling on new nodes
🧪 Real-world use cases: log collectors, monitoring agents, node-level networking
❓ Why use DaemonSets instead of standard Deployments
⚠️ Impact of not using DaemonSets for node-wide services
⚙️ How DaemonSets work under the hood
🔧 Key components and YAML structure
✅ Best practices for implementation and updates
🎯 Key takeaways for cluster-wide background operations
Ideal for DevOps engineers, SREs, platform teams, and Kubernetes learners working on real-time observability, security agents, or service mesh sidecars.
