https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/daemonset#usage_patterns DaemonSets are useful for deploying ongoing background tasks that you need to run on all or certain nodes, and which do not require user intervention. Examples of such tasks include storage daemons like ceph, log collection daemons like fluent-bit, and node monitoring daemons like collectd.
