Chapter 8. Creating infrastructure machine sets
You can use the advanced machine management and scaling capabilities only in clusters where the Machine API is operational. Clusters with user-provisioned infrastructure require additional validation and configuration to use the Machine API.
Clusters with the infrastructure platform type none
cannot use the Machine API. This limitation applies even if the compute machines that are attached to the cluster are installed on a platform that supports the feature. This parameter cannot be changed after installation.
To view the platform type for your cluster, run the following command:
$ oc get infrastructure cluster -o jsonpath='{.status.platform}'
You can use infrastructure machine sets to create machines that host only infrastructure components, such as the default router, the integrated container image registry, and the components for cluster metrics and monitoring. These infrastructure machines are not counted toward the total number of subscriptions that are required to run the environment.
In a production deployment, it is recommended that you deploy at least three machine sets to hold infrastructure components. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh deploys Elasticsearch, which requires three instances to be installed on different nodes. Each of these nodes can be deployed to different availability zones for high availability. This configuration requires three different machine sets, one for each availability zone. In global Azure regions that do not have multiple availability zones, you can use availability sets to ensure high availability.
8.1. OpenShift Container Platform infrastructure components
Each self-managed Red Hat OpenShift subscription includes entitlements for OpenShift Container Platform and other OpenShift-related components. These entitlements are included for running OpenShift Container Platform control plane and infrastructure workloads and do not need to be accounted for during sizing.
To qualify as an infrastructure node and use the included entitlement, only components that are supporting the cluster, and not part of an end-user application, can run on those instances. Examples include the following components:
- Kubernetes and OpenShift Container Platform control plane services
- The default router
- The integrated container image registry
- The HAProxy-based Ingress Controller
- The cluster metrics collection, or monitoring service, including components for monitoring user-defined projects
- Cluster aggregated logging
- Red Hat Quay
- Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation
- Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes
- Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes
- Red Hat OpenShift GitOps
- Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines
- Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh
Any node that runs any other container, pod, or component is a worker node that your subscription must cover.
For information about infrastructure nodes and which components can run on infrastructure nodes, see the "Red Hat OpenShift control plane and infrastructure nodes" section in the OpenShift sizing and subscription guide for enterprise Kubernetes document.
To create an infrastructure node, you can use a machine set, label the node, or use a machine config pool.
8.2. Creating infrastructure machine sets for production environments
In a production deployment, it is recommended that you deploy at least three compute machine sets to hold infrastructure components. Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh deploys Elasticsearch, which requires three instances to be installed on different nodes. Each of these nodes can be deployed to different availability zones for high availability. A configuration like this requires three different compute machine sets, one for each availability zone. In global Azure regions that do not have multiple availability zones, you can use availability sets to ensure high availability.
8.2.1. Creating infrastructure machine sets for different clouds
Use the sample compute machine set for your cloud.

8.2.2. Creating a compute machine set
In addition to the compute machine sets created by the installation program, you can create your own to dynamically manage the machine compute resources for specific workloads of your choice.
Prerequisites
- Deploy an OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
-
Install the OpenShift CLI (
oc
). -
Log in to
oc
as a user withcluster-admin
permission.
Procedure
Create a new YAML file that contains the compute machine set custom resource (CR) sample and is named
<file_name>.yaml
.Ensure that you set the
<clusterID>
and<role>
parameter values.Optional: If you are not sure which value to set for a specific field, you can check an existing compute machine set from your cluster.
To list the compute machine sets in your cluster, run the following command:
$ oc get machinesets -n openshift-machine-api
Example output
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AVAILABLE AGE agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1b 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1c 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1d 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1e 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1f 0 0 55m
To view values of a specific compute machine set custom resource (CR), run the following command:
$ oc get machineset <machineset_name> \ -n openshift-machine-api -o yaml
Example output
apiVersion: machine.openshift.io/v1beta1 kind: MachineSet metadata: labels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> 1 name: <infrastructure_id>-<role> 2 namespace: openshift-machine-api spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role> template: metadata: labels: machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-cluster: <infrastructure_id> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-role: <role> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machine-type: <role> machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-machineset: <infrastructure_id>-<role> spec: providerSpec: 3 ...
- 1
- The cluster infrastructure ID.
- 2
- A default node label.Note
For clusters that have user-provisioned infrastructure, a compute machine set can only create
worker
andinfra
type machines. - 3
- The values in the
<providerSpec>
section of the compute machine set CR are platform-specific. For more information about<providerSpec>
parameters in the CR, see the sample compute machine set CR configuration for your provider.
Create a
MachineSet
CR by running the following command:$ oc create -f <file_name>.yaml
Verification
View the list of compute machine sets by running the following command:
$ oc get machineset -n openshift-machine-api
Example output
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AVAILABLE AGE agl030519-vplxk-infra-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 11m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1a 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1b 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1c 1 1 1 1 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1d 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1e 0 0 55m agl030519-vplxk-worker-us-east-1f 0 0 55m
When the new compute machine set is available, the
DESIRED
andCURRENT
values match. If the compute machine set is not available, wait a few minutes and run the command again.
8.2.3. Creating an infrastructure node
See Creating infrastructure machine sets for installer-provisioned infrastructure environments or for any cluster where the control plane nodes are managed by the machine API.
Requirements of the cluster dictate that infrastructure, also called infra
nodes, be provisioned. The installer only provides provisions for control plane and worker nodes. Worker nodes can be designated as infrastructure nodes or application, also called app
, nodes through labeling.
Procedure
Add a label to the worker node that you want to act as application node:
$ oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/app=""
Add a label to the worker nodes that you want to act as infrastructure nodes:
$ oc label node <node-name> node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=""
Check to see if applicable nodes now have the
infra
role andapp
roles:$ oc get nodes
Create a default cluster-wide node selector. The default node selector is applied to pods created in all namespaces. This creates an intersection with any existing node selectors on a pod, which additionally constrains the pod’s selector.
ImportantIf the default node selector key conflicts with the key of a pod’s label, then the default node selector is not applied.
However, do not set a default node selector that might cause a pod to become unschedulable. For example, setting the default node selector to a specific node role, such as
node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=""
, when a pod’s label is set to a different node role, such asnode-role.kubernetes.io/master=""
, can cause the pod to become unschedulable. For this reason, use caution when setting the default node selector to specific node roles.You can alternatively use a project node selector to avoid cluster-wide node selector key conflicts.
Edit the
Scheduler
object:$ oc edit scheduler cluster
Add the
defaultNodeSelector
field with the appropriate node selector:apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Scheduler metadata: name: cluster spec: defaultNodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra="" 1 # ...
- 1
- This example node selector deploys pods on infrastructure nodes by default.
- Save the file to apply the changes.
You can now move infrastructure resources to the newly labeled infra
nodes.
Additional resources
8.2.4. Creating a machine config pool for infrastructure machines
If you need infrastructure machines to have dedicated configurations, you must create an infra pool.
Creating a custom machine configuration pool overrides default worker pool configurations if they refer to the same file or unit.
Procedure
Add a label to the node you want to assign as the infra node with a specific label:
$ oc label node <node_name> <label>
$ oc label node ci-ln-n8mqwr2-f76d1-xscn2-worker-c-6fmtx node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=
Create a machine config pool that contains both the worker role and your custom role as machine config selector:
$ cat infra.mcp.yaml
Example output
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1 kind: MachineConfigPool metadata: name: infra spec: machineConfigSelector: matchExpressions: - {key: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role, operator: In, values: [worker,infra]} 1 nodeSelector: matchLabels: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 2
NoteCustom machine config pools inherit machine configs from the worker pool. Custom pools use any machine config targeted for the worker pool, but add the ability to also deploy changes that are targeted at only the custom pool. Because a custom pool inherits resources from the worker pool, any change to the worker pool also affects the custom pool.
After you have the YAML file, you can create the machine config pool:
$ oc create -f infra.mcp.yaml
Check the machine configs to ensure that the infrastructure configuration rendered successfully:
$ oc get machineconfig
Example output

You should see a new machine config, with the
rendered-infra-*
prefix.Optional: To deploy changes to a custom pool, create a machine config that uses the custom pool name as the label, such as
infra
. Note that this is not required and only shown for instructional purposes. In this manner, you can apply any custom configurations specific to only your infra nodes.NoteAfter you create the new machine config pool, the MCO generates a new rendered config for that pool, and associated nodes of that pool reboot to apply the new configuration.
Create a machine config:
$ cat infra.mc.yaml
Example output
apiVersion: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/v1 kind: MachineConfig metadata: name: 51-infra labels: machineconfiguration.openshift.io/role: infra 1 spec: config: ignition: version: 3.2.0 storage: files: - path: /etc/infratest mode: 0644 contents: source: data:,infra
- 1
- Add the label you added to the node as a
nodeSelector
.
Apply the machine config to the infra-labeled nodes:
$ oc create -f infra.mc.yaml
Confirm that your new machine config pool is available:
$ oc get mcp
Example output

In this example, a worker node was changed to an infra node.
Additional resources
- See Node configuration management with machine config pools for more information on grouping infra machines in a custom pool.
8.3. Assigning machine set resources to infrastructure nodes
After creating an infrastructure machine set, the worker
and infra
roles are applied to new infra nodes. Nodes with the infra
role applied are not counted toward the total number of subscriptions that are required to run the environment, even when the worker
role is also applied.
However, with an infra node being assigned as a worker, there is a chance user workloads could get inadvertently assigned to an infra node. To avoid this, you can apply a taint to the infra node and tolerations for the pods you want to control.
8.3.1. Binding infrastructure node workloads using taints and tolerations
If you have an infra node that has the infra
and worker
roles assigned, you must configure the node so that user workloads are not assigned to it.
It is recommended that you preserve the dual infra,worker
label that is created for infra nodes and use taints and tolerations to manage nodes that user workloads are scheduled on. If you remove the worker
label from the node, you must create a custom pool to manage it. A node with a label other than master
or worker
is not recognized by the MCO without a custom pool. Maintaining the worker
label allows the node to be managed by the default worker machine config pool, if no custom pools that select the custom label exists. The infra
label communicates to the cluster that it does not count toward the total number of subscriptions.
Prerequisites
-
Configure additional
MachineSet
objects in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Procedure
Add a taint to the infra node to prevent scheduling user workloads on it:
Determine if the node has the taint:
$ oc describe nodes <node_name>
Sample output
oc describe node ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l Name: ci-ln-iyhx092-f76d1-nvdfm-worker-b-wln2l Roles: worker ... Taints: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra:NoSchedule ...
This example shows that the node has a taint. You can proceed with adding a toleration to your pod in the next step.
If you have not configured a taint to prevent scheduling user workloads on it:
$ oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect>
For example:
$ oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoSchedule
TipYou can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint:
kind: Node apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: <node_name> labels: ... spec: taints: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra effect: NoSchedule value: reserved ...
This example places a taint on
node1
that has keynode-role.kubernetes.io/infra
and taint effectNoSchedule
. Nodes with theNoSchedule
effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint, but allow existing pods to remain scheduled on the node.NoteIf a descheduler is used, pods violating node taints could be evicted from the cluster.
Add the taint with NoExecute Effect along with the above taint with NoSchedule Effect:
$ oc adm taint nodes <node_name> <key>=<value>:<effect>
For example:
$ oc adm taint nodes node1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra=reserved:NoExecute
TipYou can alternatively apply the following YAML to add the taint:
kind: Node apiVersion: v1 metadata: name: <node_name> labels: ... spec: taints: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra effect: NoExecute value: reserved ...
This example places a taint on
node1
that has the keynode-role.kubernetes.io/infra
and taint effectNoExecute
. Nodes with theNoExecute
effect schedule only pods that tolerate the taint. The effect will remove any existing pods from the node that do not have a matching toleration.
Add tolerations for the pod configurations you want to schedule on the infra node, like router, registry, and monitoring workloads. Add the following code to the
Pod
object specification:tolerations: - effect: NoSchedule 1 key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 2 value: reserved 3 - effect: NoExecute 4 key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra 5 operator: Exists 6 value: reserved 7
- 1
- Specify the effect that you added to the node.
- 2
- Specify the key that you added to the node.
- 3
- Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node.
- 4
- Specify the effect that you added to the node.
- 5
- Specify the key that you added to the node.
- 6
- Specify the
Exists
Operator to require a taint with the keynode-role.kubernetes.io/infra
to be present on the node. - 7
- Specify the value of the key-value pair taint that you added to the node.
This toleration matches the taint created by the
oc adm taint
command. A pod with this toleration can be scheduled onto the infra node.NoteMoving pods for an Operator installed via OLM to an infra node is not always possible. The capability to move Operator pods depends on the configuration of each Operator.
- Schedule the pod to the infra node using a scheduler. See the documentation for Controlling pod placement onto nodes for details.
Additional resources
- See Controlling pod placement using the scheduler for general information on scheduling a pod to a node.
- See Moving resources to infrastructure machine sets for instructions on scheduling pods to infra nodes.
- See Understanding taints and tolerations for more details about different effects of taints.
8.4. Moving resources to infrastructure machine sets
Some of the infrastructure resources are deployed in your cluster by default. You can move them to the infrastructure machine sets that you created by adding the infrastructure node selector, as shown:
spec:
nodePlacement: 1
nodeSelector:
matchLabels:
node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: ""
tolerations:
- effect: NoSchedule
key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
value: reserved
- effect: NoExecute
key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
value: reserved
- 1
- Add a
nodeSelector
parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use anodeSelector
in the format shown or use<key>: <value>
pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrasructure node, also add a matching toleration.
Applying a specific node selector to all infrastructure components causes OpenShift Container Platform to schedule those workloads on nodes with that label.
8.4.1. Moving the router
You can deploy the router pod to a different compute machine set. By default, the pod is deployed to a worker node.
Prerequisites
- Configure additional compute machine sets in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Procedure
View the
IngressController
custom resource for the router Operator:$ oc get ingresscontroller default -n openshift-ingress-operator -o yaml
The command output resembles the following text:

Confirm that the router pod is running on the
infra
node.View the list of router pods and note the node name of the running pod:
$ oc get pod -n openshift-ingress -o wide
Example output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES router-default-86798b4b5d-bdlvd 1/1 Running 0 28s 10.130.2.4 ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal <none> <none> router-default-955d875f4-255g8 0/1 Terminating 0 19h 10.129.2.4 ip-10-0-148-172.ec2.internal <none> <none>
In this example, the running pod is on the
ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal
node.View the node status of the running pod:
$ oc get node <node_name> 1
- 1
- Specify the
<node_name>
that you obtained from the pod list.
Example output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION ip-10-0-217-226.ec2.internal Ready infra,worker 17h v1.29.4
Because the role list includes
infra
, the pod is running on the correct node.
8.4.2. Moving the default registry
You configure the registry Operator to deploy its pods to different nodes.
Prerequisites
- Configure additional compute machine sets in your OpenShift Container Platform cluster.
Procedure
View the
config/instance
object:$ oc get configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io/cluster -o yaml
Example output

- Add a
nodeSelector
parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use anodeSelector
in the format shown or use<key>: <value>
pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrasructure node, also add a matching toleration.
Verify the registry pod has been moved to the infrastructure node.
Run the following command to identify the node where the registry pod is located:
$ oc get pods -o wide -n openshift-image-registry
Confirm the node has the label you specified:
$ oc describe node <node_name>
Review the command output and confirm that
node-role.kubernetes.io/infra
is in theLABELS
list.
8.4.3. Moving the monitoring solution
The monitoring stack includes multiple components, including Prometheus, Thanos Querier, and Alertmanager. The Cluster Monitoring Operator manages this stack. To redeploy the monitoring stack to infrastructure nodes, you can create and apply a custom config map.
Procedure
Edit the
cluster-monitoring-config
config map and change thenodeSelector
to use theinfra
label:$ oc edit configmap cluster-monitoring-config -n openshift-monitoring
apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: cluster-monitoring-config namespace: openshift-monitoring data: config.yaml: |+ alertmanagerMain: nodeSelector: 1 node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute prometheusK8s: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute prometheusOperator: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute metricsServer: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute kubeStateMetrics: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute telemeterClient: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute openshiftStateMetrics: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute thanosQuerier: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute monitoringPlugin: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoSchedule - key: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra value: reserved effect: NoExecute

- Add a
nodeSelector
parameter with the appropriate value to the component you want to move. You can use anodeSelector
in the format shown or use<key>: <value>
pairs, based on the value specified for the node. If you added a taint to the infrastructure node, also add a matching toleration.
Watch the monitoring pods move to the new machines:
$ watch 'oc get pod -n openshift-monitoring -o wide'
If a component has not moved to the
infra
node, delete the pod with this component:$ oc delete pod -n openshift-monitoring <pod>
The component from the deleted pod is re-created on the
infra
node.
8.4.4. Moving the Vertical Pod Autoscaler Operator components
The Vertical Pod Autoscaler Operator (VPA) consists of three components: the recommender, updater, and admission controller. The Operator and each component has its own pod in the VPA namespace on the control plane nodes. You can move the VPA Operator and component pods to infrastructure nodes by adding a node selector to the VPA subscription and the VerticalPodAutoscalerController
CR.
The following example shows the default deployment of the VPA pods to the control plane nodes.
Example output
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE NOMINATED NODE READINESS GATES vertical-pod-autoscaler-operator-6c75fcc9cd-5pb6z 1/1 Running 0 7m59s 10.128.2.24 c416-tfsbj-master-1 <none> <none> vpa-admission-plugin-default-6cb78d6f8b-rpcrj 1/1 Running 0 5m37s 10.129.2.22 c416-tfsbj-master-1 <none> <none> vpa-recommender-default-66846bd94c-dsmpp 1/1 Running 0 5m37s 10.129.2.20 c416-tfsbj-master-0 <none> <none> vpa-updater-default-db8b58df-2nkvf 1/1 Running 0 5m37s 10.129.2.21 c416-tfsbj-master-1 <none> <none>
Procedure
Move the VPA Operator pod by adding a node selector to the
Subscription
custom resource (CR) for the VPA Operator:Edit the CR:
$ oc edit Subscription vertical-pod-autoscaler -n openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler
Add a node selector to match the node role label on the infra node:
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: labels: operators.coreos.com/vertical-pod-autoscaler.openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler: "" name: vertical-pod-autoscaler # ... spec: config: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 1
- 1
- Specifies the node role of an infra node.
NoteIf the infra node uses taints, you need to add a toleration to the
Subscription
CR.For example:
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: labels: operators.coreos.com/vertical-pod-autoscaler.openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler: "" name: vertical-pod-autoscaler # ... spec: config: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: 1 - key: "node-role.kubernetes.io/infra" operator: "Exists" effect: "NoSchedule"
- 1
- Specifies a toleration for a taint on the infra node.
Move each VPA component by adding node selectors to the
VerticalPodAutoscaler
custom resource (CR):Edit the CR:
$ oc edit VerticalPodAutoscalerController default -n openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler
Add node selectors to match the node role label on the infra node:
apiVersion: autoscaling.openshift.io/v1 kind: VerticalPodAutoscalerController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler # ... spec: deploymentOverrides: admission: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 1 recommender: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 2 updater: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" 3
NoteIf a target node uses taints, you need to add a toleration to the
VerticalPodAutoscalerController
CR.For example:
apiVersion: autoscaling.openshift.io/v1 kind: VerticalPodAutoscalerController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler # ... spec: deploymentOverrides: admission: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: 1 - key: "my-example-node-taint-key" operator: "Exists" effect: "NoSchedule" recommender: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: 2 - key: "my-example-node-taint-key" operator: "Exists" effect: "NoSchedule" updater: container: resources: {} nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/infra: "" tolerations: 3 - key: "my-example-node-taint-key" operator: "Exists" effect: "NoSchedule"
Verification
You can verify the pods have moved by using the following command:
$ oc get pods -n openshift-vertical-pod-autoscaler -o wide
The pods are no longer deployed to the control plane nodes.
