Taints and Tolerations are advance scheduling mechanism designed to repel pods if they do not have matching toleration.  Pods are only accepted by Nodes if they match desired toleration otherwise Pods remains in Pending state or look for another nodes. In today's example , we will configure nodes and pods with taints and toleration respectively. We will make use of Minikube cluster for managing pods. Pre-requisite : Minikube Cluster  As you can see in above picture , we have two pod one with toleration defined and another without toleration. Since minikube is just one node cluster , we will use master node and apply taints on it. We will see pod scheduling behaviour when toleration applied versus toleration not applied. Let's make sure minikube cluster is running fine and check if master node has taints applied on it. kubectl describe nodes minikube | grep -i taints As you can currently no taints is applied on minikube master node , in this case any pod can be schedule
