Answer
Deployment runs N replicas; DaemonSet ensures one Pod per node.
Quick Answer
DaemonSet ensures exactly one Pod runs on every node (or a selected subset) — used for node-level agents like log collectors, monitoring, or network plugins. Deployment manages a pool of Pods across the cluster without caring which node they land on. DaemonSet scales with nodes; Deployment scales with replicas.
