- In simple words this allows you to tell Kubernetes to schedule pods only to specific subsets of nodes.
- The initial node affinity mechanism in early versions of Kubernetes was the nodeSelector field in the pod specification. The node had to include all the labels specified in that field to be eligible to become the target for the pod.
git clone https://github.com/collabnix/dockerlabs
cd dockerlabs/kubernetes/workshop/Scheduler101/
kubectl label nodes node2 mynode=worker-1
kubectl apply -f pod-nginx.yaml
- We have label on the node with node name,in this case i have given node2 as mynode=worker-1 label.
kubectl get pods --output=wide

- You can check in above output Node-Selectors: mynode=worker-1
kubectl delete -f pod-nginx.yaml
pod "nginx" deleted
-
Node affinity is conceptually similar to nodeSelector – it allows you to constrain which nodes your pod is eligible to be scheduled on, based on labels on the node.
-
There are currently two types of node affinity.
- requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution (Required during scheduling, ignored during execution; also known as "hard" requirements)
- preferredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution (Preferred during scheduling, ignored during execution; also known as "soft" requirements)

kubectl delete -f pod-with-node-affinity.yaml
