Taints and Tolerations vs Node Affinity

• Take me to Video Tutorial

In this section, we will take a look at Taints and Tolerations vs Node Affinity

• Taints and Toleration does not gurantee that the pods will only prefer these nodes, in this case, the red nodes may ends up on one of the other nodes that do not have a taint or toleration set.

  

• As such, a combination of taints and tolerations and node affinity rules can be used together to completely dedicate nodes for specific parts.
