Pros and cons of using traefik as ingress on kubernetes as DaemonSet

Question

I'm planning on using Traefik as an ingress controller on my Kube cluster. After a little research, I found out that it could be used as a deployment or an DaemonSet. I'm planning to use it as a DaemonSet and would like to know its pros and cons.

Thank you..

Here are pros and cons of using DaemonSet:

• Less scalability
• Automatically deploys pods to new nodes that joined the cluster
• DaemonSets can be run with the NET_BIND_SERVICE capability, which will allow it to bind to port 80/443/etc on each host.
