services / Google Cloud / DaemonSets

Control Kubernetes DaemonSets objects.

DaemonSets manage pods, similar to ReplicaSets and StatefulSets. A DaemonSet ensures there is the desired number of pods running on each node. If DaemonSets are allowed to connect to the public internet, it may open up the door for arbitrary code execution for an attacker. See notes on `container/deployments` for mitigations.

container.​daemonSets.​get

Describes detailed metadata about the DaemonSet, and Pods and Containers in it, such as ports, IP address, replicas, attached volumes, containers and the images they are running.
