Deploy Cerbos as DaemonSet

You can use the Cerbos Helm chart to deploy Cerbos as a daemonset inside your Kubernetes cluster by setting the Helm type value to daemonset. By default, the internal traffic policy is set to Local. You can change this by setting service.internalTrafficPolicy explicitly.

Refer to the Helm chart instructions to learn more about using the Cerbos Helm chart.
