 Taints & Tolerations
i) Applying Taints to a Nodes
kubectl taint nodes <node-name> key=value:taint-
effect
Note:
taint-effect: The effect of the taint, which can be one of
the following:
a) NoSchedule: Pods will not be scheduled on the node
unless they tolerate the taint.
b) PreferNoSchedule: Kubernetes will try to avoid
placing a pod on the node but it's not guaranteed.
c) NoExecute: New pods will not be scheduled on the
node and existing pods on the node if they do not
tolerate the taint will be evicted if they do not tolerate
the taint.

ii) Removing Taints From a Node

kubectl taint nodes <node-name> key:effect-

Taints are always applied over the nodes and

Tolerations apply over the pods.
