Example: k8s DaemonSet

You may create a Kubernetes DaemonSet to ensure every cluster-node registers its IP to the AWS Security Group. Existent nodes and next added ones will register their IPs to the security group.

Note that, when a node is evicted, its IP won't be removed from the security group.
