This topic describes how to schedule a pod to a specific node in the Container Service console.

You can add a node label and then configure the nodeSelector to schedule a pod to a specified node. For more information about the implementation principle of nodeSelector, see nodeselector.

For business scenario needs, to deploy a service used for management and control to a master node, or deploy services to a machine with an SSD disk, you can use this method to schedule pods to specified nodes.

Prerequisites

A Kubernetes cluster is created. For more information, see Create an ACK cluster.

Step 1: Add a node label

  1. Log on to the Container Service console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane under Container Service-Kubernetes, choose Clusters > Nodes.
  3. Select the cluster from the Cluster drop-down list and then click Label Management in the upper-right corner.
  4. Select one or more nodes by selecting the corresponding check boxes and then click Add Tag. In this example, select a worker node.
  5. Ener the name and value of the label in the displayed dialog box and then click OK.
    The node label group:worker is displayed on the Label Management page.

You can also add a node label by running the command kubectl label nodes <node-name> <label-key>=<label-value>.

Step 2: Deploy a pod to a specified node

  1. Log on to the Container Service console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane under Container Service-Kubernetes, choose Applications > Deployments.
  3. In the upper-right corner, click Create by Template.
  4. Configure the template to deploy a pod. After completing the configurations, click DEPLOY.
    • Clusters: Select a cluster.
    • Namespace: Select the namespace to which the resource object belongs. In this example, use default as the namespace.
    • Resource Type: Select Custom in this example.

    The orchestration template in this example is as follows:

    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  ##The same as the node label configured in the preceding step.
 status :{}
  5. A message indicating the deployment status is displayed after you click DEPLOY. After the successful deployment, click Kubernetes Dashboard in the message to go to the dashboard and check the deployment status.
  6. Click the pod name to view the pod details.
    You can view the information such as the pod label and node ID, which indicates the pod is successfully deployed to a node with the label group:worker.
