Cluster Scheduling
Kim and Kubernetes
A Survey of Nodes, Namespaces, and the Great Game of Scheduling
No pod is an orphan if its selector has been properly brought up.
Kim learns that a cluster is less a machine than a nervous arrangement of rumours, labels, taints, and tolerations. This practical guide follows pods across contested territory, explaining scheduling constraints, resource requests, autoscaling, and the delicate art of not mistaking a healthy node for a loyal one.

This essential volume combines literary feeling, technical anxiety, and just enough documentation to suggest that somebody once understood the system.
