**Tell us about your request**
Allow us to run daemon sets like kube2iam, fluentbit and others in a fargate env.

**What do you want us to build?**
Improve the scheduler to allow running whitelisted daemon sets on fargate nodes.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
Fargate, EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Right it is very difficult to run fargate as a replacement for ec2 nodes because you do not have exporter logs, iam integration and so on...

**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Use fargate only for non ciritical tasks which do not need iam, logs or anything else...
