Suggest to rename this to K8S_CLUSTER_NAME as there is nothing specific to Datadog

DDOT doesn't have the leader election extension, so in the short term I plan on having a dedicated 1-replica deployment, in the long term we can add it to the daemonset in its own pipeline, yes.

We can comment these out for now to avoid showing both DaemonSet and Standalone during the preview per Shanel's request.
