  • Is the --ignore-daemonsets flag appropriate for this scenario?
  • Are any of the DaemonSet pods critical for node-level cleanup before shutdown?
  • Do any DaemonSet pods have local data that needs to be flushed before eviction?
  • Are there non-DaemonSet pods on the node that also need to be evicted?
  • Will the Fluentd DaemonSet lose buffered log data if the pod is terminated?
  • Is there a PodDisruptionBudget on any of the DaemonSet pods?
  • What is the graceful shutdown behavior of each DaemonSet pod?
