DaemonSet

Stop DaemonSet by appliying a nodeSelector

• kubectl patch daemonset <name-of-daemon-set> -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"nodeSelector": {"non-existing": "true"}}}}}'

Start DaemonSet by removing the nodeSelector :

• kubectl patch daemonset <name-of-daemon-set> --type json -p='[{"op": "remove", "path": "/spec/template/spec/nodeSelector/non-existing"}]'
