Sometimes you need your Kubernetes workloads to interact with the underlying host OS, this can be for many reasons but a few common scenarios include: Monitoring agents that need to read metrics from the host Tools that need to access the underlying container runtime Access to the host network or storage Amending the configuration on the host Installing additional software or agents on the host For Linux hosts, this is fairly straightforward using a privileged daemonset on these nodes which can then access these host resources, but privileged containers aren’t an option for Windows nodes.
