<p>Using KubeEdge and I'm attempting to prevent my edgenode from getting kube-proxy deployed.</p>
<p>When I attempt to add fields to daemonsets.apps with the following command:</p>
<pre><code> sudo kubectl edit daemonsets.apps -n kube-system kube-proxy
</code></pre>
<p>With the following values</p>
<pre><code>affinity:
 nodeAffinity:
  requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
    nodeSelectorTerms:
      - matchExpressions:
          - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/edge
            operator: DoesNotExist
</code></pre>
<p>Returns the following error:</p>
<pre><code># daemonsets.apps &quot;kube-proxy&quot; was not valid:
# * &lt;nil&gt;: Invalid value: &quot;The edited file failed validation&quot;: ValidationError(DaemonSet): unknown field &quot;nodeAffinity&quot; in io.k8s.api.apps.v1.DaemonSet

<p>Other answers suggested it was a formatting issue, but I've ran it through a YAML validator and it said it was valid.</p>

<p><code>affinity</code> should be placed under the pod template. Try:</p>
<pre><code>spec:
  ...
