Assign Pods to Nodes
You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. It is recommended to run this tutorial on a cluster with at least two nodes that are not acting as control plane hosts. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using minikube or you can use one of these Kubernetes playgrounds:
To check the version, enter .
List the in your cluster, along with their labels:
The output is similar to this:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION LABELS
worker0 Ready <none> 1d v1.13.0 ...,kubernetes.io/hostname=worker0
worker1 Ready <none> 1d v1.13.0 ...,kubernetes.io/hostname=worker1
worker2 Ready <none> 1d v1.13.0 ...,kubernetes.io/hostname=worker2
Verify that your chosen node has a
disktype=ssd
label:The output is similar to this:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION LABELS
worker0 Ready <none> 1d v1.13.0 ...,disktype=ssd,kubernetes.io/hostname=worker0
worker1 Ready <none> 1d v1.13.0 ...,kubernetes.io/hostname=worker1
In the preceding output, you can see that the
worker0
node has adisktype=ssd
label.
This pod configuration file describes a pod that has a node selector, disktype: ssd
. This means that the pod will get scheduled on a node that has a disktype=ssd
label.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
labels:
env: test
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
nodeSelector:
disktype: ssd
Verify that the pod is running on your chosen node:
kubectl get pods --output=wide
The output is similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
nginx 1/1 Running 0 13s 10.200.0.4 worker0
You can also schedule a pod to one specific node via setting nodeName
.
Use the configuration file to create a pod that will get scheduled on only.
