Node Affinity & Anti-Affinity with Elastic/Kibana💣
Affinity is exposed through values options for this package. If you want to schedule your pods to deploy on specific nodes you can do that through the nodeSelector
value and as needed the affinity
value. Additional info is provided below as well to help in configuring this.
It is good to have a basic knowledge of node affinity and available options to you before customizing in this way - the upstream kubernetes documentation has a good walkthrough of this.
Values for NodeSelector💣
The nodeSelector
value at multiple levels can be set to do basic node selection for deployments. See the below example for an example to schedule pods to only nodes with the label node-type
equal to the “pod type”:
kibana:
nodeSelector:
node-type: kibana
elasticsearch:
master:
nodeSelector:
node-type: elastic-master
data:
nodeSelector:
node-type: elastic-data
Values for Affinity💣
The affinity
value at multiple levels should be used to specify affinity. The format to include follows what you’d specify at a pod/deployment level. See the example below for scheduling the operator pods only to nodes with the label node-type
equal to the “pod type”:
kibana:
affinity:
nodeAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: node-type
operator: In
values:
- "kibana"
elasticsearch:
master:
affinity:
nodeAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: node-type
operator: In
values:
- "elastic-master"
data:
affinity:
nodeAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: node-type
operator: In
values:
- "elastic-data"
Values for Anti-Affinity💣
The affinity
value at multiple levels can be set in the same way to schedule pods based on anti-affinity. See the below example to schedule pods to not be present on the nodes that already have pods with the dont-schedule-with:
“pod type” label:
kibana:
affinity:
podAntiAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname"
labelSelector:
matchLabels:
dont-schedule-with: kibana
elasticsearch:
master:
affinity:
podAntiAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname"
labelSelector:
matchLabels:
dont-schedule-with: elastic-master
data:
affinity:
podAntiAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
- topologyKey: "kubernetes.io/hostname"
labelSelector:
matchLabels:
dont-schedule-with: elastic-data
