How to Use Kubernetes Node Affinity to Schedule Large Models on Specific GPU Nodes

This guide explains how to schedule large‑model inference pods onto GPU nodes that meet exact hardware requirements—such as A100 80 GB cards, specific node pools, and zones—by converting those needs into Kubernetes node‑affinity, taint, and topology constraints, verifying the deployment, monitoring its health, and safely rolling out or rolling back changes.

Master Real Kubernetes Scheduling on Windows: Ditch Single‑Node “Fake” Labs

This article explains why single‑node clusters cannot demonstrate true Kubernetes pod scheduling, recommends using Kind to create multi‑node clusters on Windows, and walks through the scheduler’s filtering and scoring steps with concrete experiments such as nodeSelector, affinity, taints, requests/limits, and preemption.
