Using DaemonSets in Kubernetes

You are working for BeeBox, a company that provides regular shipments of bees to customers.

The company is using some software on their K8s worker nodes that periodically leaves unnecessary data in a particular location on the worker node. Since this software could run on any node at any time, this trash data periodically appears on various worker nodes and should be cleaned up.

Configure the cluster to create a pod on each worker node that periodically deleted the contents of the /etc/beebox/tmp on the worker node. Make sure a copy of this pod is automatically created on each worker node, even as new nodes are added to the cluster. Note that you should not run a copy of the pod on the control plane node.

To accomplish this, you can use the following pod specification as a template:

spec:
  containers:
  - name: busybox
    image: busybox:1.27
    command: ['sh', '-c', 'while true; do rm -rf /beebox-temp/*; sleep 60; done']
    volumeMounts:
    - name: beebox-tmp
      mountPath: /beebox-temp
  volumes:
  - name: beebox-tmp
    hostPath:
      path: /etc/beebox/tmp
