DaemonSet doesn't create any pods: v1.1.2

Question

I am attempting to launch a DaemonSet on an existing cluster of 6 nodes with multiple containers already deployed.

Deployment seems to succeed but no pods are created:

Setup

Deployment

AWS

We are running the example cluster created with kube-aws The existing cluster has 30 pods already running across 6 nodes.

• CoreOS alpha (891.0.0)
• Kubernetes server v1.1.2
• Updated the /etc/kubernetes/manifest/kube-apiserver.manifest to enable DaemonSets by adding --runtime-config=extensions/v1beta1/daemonsets=true

On the kube-aws-controller I restarted services with: sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl restart kubelet

Restarting the Kubelet won't restart any of the pods being managed by the Kubelet. The controller manager will only manage DaemonSets if it notices that the feature is enabled in the apiserver, so you need to make sure that the apiserver is started with the flag to enable the alpha extensions and then start the controller manager.
