What you'll do

In this challenge, you will manage pod scheduling in a Kubernetes cluster by using nodeSelector and node affinity rules.

  1. Create a Deployment that schedules pods by using the Kubernetes nodeSelector feature
  2. Schedule a pod by using a required node affinity
  3. Schedule a pod by using a preferred node affinity

Note: Once you begin the lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the lab before you start.
