Kubernetes ensures that every node created has a copy of the *DaemonSet* pod, which virtually enables one deployment to watch each machine in the cluster. As nodes are destroyed, the pod is also terminated. Many monitoring solutions use the Kubernetes DaemonSet structure to deploy an agent on every cluster node.
