The `cattle-node-agent` is deployed using a [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) resource to make sure it runs on every node in a Rancher-launched Kubernetes cluster. It is used to interact with the nodes when performing cluster operations. Examples of cluster operations include upgrading the Kubernetes version and creating or restoring etcd snapshots.

### 4. Authorized Cluster Endpoint (ACE)
An authorized cluster endpoint allows users to connect to the Kubernetes API server of a downstream cluster without having to route their requests through the Rancher authentication proxy.
> The authorized cluster endpoint only works on Rancher-launched Kubernetes clusters. In other words, it only works in clusters where Rancher [used RKE]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters) to provision the cluster. It is not available for registered clusters, or for clusters in a hosted Kubernetes provider, such as Amazon's EKS.
