Description

customer-request

On Clusters with many nodes you can not easily deploy a DaemonSet. It might be a solution to deploy a Deployment and accept the performance hit (we need measurements!) or get away with it by adding preferedAffinities to all OPA-consuming services.

For one customer this is a show-stopper to using our opa-operator, simply because they have so many k8s nodes that they can not afford the resources.
They hand-roll their own Deployment instead.
