You can deploy a management service on a master node to meet your business requirements.
Otherwise, we recommend that you deploy specific services on nodes that use standard
SSDs. This topic describes how to schedule a pod to a specific node in the Container
Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console. You can configure node labels or templates to
schedule pods.
Background information
You can configure node labels and set nodeSelector
to schedule a pod to a specified node. For more information about how to use nodeSelector,
see nodeSelector.
Step 1: Configure a node label
- Log on to the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
- On the Clusters page, click the name of a cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Nodes.
- Select the cluster that you want to manage, and click Manage Labels and Taints in the upper-right corner of the page to go to the Manage Labels and Taints page.
- Select one or more nodes and click Add Label.
- In the dialog box that appears, set the label name and value of the nodes, and click
OK.
- Name: The name of the label. The name can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores
(_), and periods (.). It must start and end with a letter or a digit.
- Value: The value of the label. The value can be an empty string or contain letters, digits,
hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). It must start and end with a letter
or a digit.
Step 2. Schedule a pod to a specified node
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
- On the Clusters page, click the name of a cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Workload.
- On the Deployments tab, click Create from Template.
- Configure the template to deploy a pod.
- Cluster: Select the cluster where the pod is deployed.
- Namespace: Select the namespace to which the pod belongs. In this example, the default namespace
is selected.
- Sample Template: In this example, Custom is selected.
Enter the following template content:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
labels:
name: hello-pod
name: hello-pod
spec:
containers:
- image: nginx
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: hello-pod
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
protocol: TCP
resources: {}
securityContext:
capabilities: {}
privileged: false
terminationMessagePath: /dev/termination-log
dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
restartPolicy: Always
nodeSelector:
group: worker ##This value must be the same as the node label that is created in Step 1.
status: {}
- Click Create. A message appears to indicate the deployment status.
Verify the scheduling result
You can use one of the following methods to check whether the pod has been deployed
to the specified node.
- After the pod is deployed, click the pod name that appears in the message to check
the pod details.
You can view the information about the pod labels and the ID of the node to which
the pod is scheduled. The following figure indicates that the pod is scheduled to
the node with the
group:worker
label.

- In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.
- On the Clusters page, click the name of a cluster or click Details in the Actions column. The details page of the cluster appears.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Workload.
- The Deployments tab appears. Click the Pods tab, find the pod that you want to check, and then click the name of the pod to go
to the pod details page.
