Tips:How to ensure your pod ends up on a specific node

Specifying node placement in the pod

Node affinity is specified with a node selector as follows. Here, the system will try to place the pod on the node with hostname "vecna", i.e. the DGX2.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: ...
spec:
  nodeSelector:
    kubernetes.io/hostname: vecna
  ...

There is a ton of different options and other possibilities, see

Assigning pods to nodes (Kubernetes tutorial)

Node labels pre-defined in the cluster which can be used to specify pod affinity and selectors
