Anti-Node Affinity ?

Some scenarios require that you don’t use one or more nodes except for particular pods. Think of the nodes that host your monitoring application.
Those nodes shouldn’t have many resources due to the nature of their role. Thus, if other pods than those which have the monitoring app are scheduled to those nodes, they hurt monitoring and also degrades the application they are hosting.
In such a case, you need to use node anti-affinity to keep pods away from a set of nodes.

Steps

git clone https://github.com/collabnix/dockerlabs
cd dockerlabs/kubernetes/workshop/Scheduler101/
kubectl label nodes node2 mynode=worker-1
kubectl label nodes node3 mynode=worker-3
kubectl apply -f pod-anti-node-affinity.yaml

Viewing Your Pods

[node1 Scheduler101]$ kubectl get pods --output=wide
NAME    READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE     IP          NODE    NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES
nginx   1/1     Running   0          2m37s   10.44.0.1   node2   <none>           <none>

Get nodes label detail

[node1 Scheduler101]$ kubectl get nodes --show-labels | grep mynode
node2   Ready    <none>   166m   v1.14.9   beta.kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,beta.kubernetes.io/os=linux,kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,kubernetes.io/hostname=node2,kubernetes.io/os=linux,mynode=worker-1,role=dev
node3   Ready    <none>   165m   v1.14.9   beta.kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,beta.kubernetes.io/os=linux,kubernetes.io/arch=amd64,kubernetes.io/hostname=node3,kubernetes.io/os=linux,mynode=worker-3

Get pod describe

[node1 Scheduler101]$ kubectl describe pods nginx

  Normal  Created    40s   kubelet, node2     Created container nginx
  Normal  Started    39s   kubelet, node2     Started container nginx

Adding another key to the matchExpressions with the operator NotIn will avoid scheduling the nginx pods on any node labelled worker-1.

Step Cleanup

Finally you can clean up the resources you created in your cluster:

kubectl delete -f pod-anti-node-affinity.yaml
