# Kubernetes Concept: Affinity \ Anti-Affinity
## Create a kubernetes cluster
In this guide we we''ll need a Kubernetes cluster for testing. Let's create one using [kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) </br>
```
cd kubernetes/affinity
kind create cluster --name demo --image kindest/node:v1.28.0 --config kind.yaml
```
Test the cluster:
```
kubectl get nodes
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION
demo-control-plane Ready control-plane 59s v1.28.0
demo-worker Ready <none> 36s v1.28.0
demo-worker2 Ready <none> 35s v1.28.0
demo-worker3 Ready <none> 35s v1.28.0
```
## Node Affinity
[Node Affinity](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/assign-pod-node/#node-affinity) is similar to `nodeSelector` however you can define more complex expressions
For example:
* Node selector is a hard and fast rule meaning a pod will not be scheduled if the selection is not satisfied
* For example, when using `os` selector as `linux` , a pod can only be scheduled if there is a node available where `os` label is `linux`
Node Affinity allows an expression.
```
kubectl apply -f node-affinity.yaml
```
We can see our pods are prefering SSD and are always going to `us-east`
```
kubectl get pods -owide
#introduce more pods
kubectl scale deploy app-disk --replicas 10
#observe all pods on demo-worker
```
If there is some trouble with our `ssd` disk, `kubectl taint nodes demo-worker type=ssd:NoSchedule`, we can see pods going to the non-ssd disk nodes in `us-east` </br>
This is because our pods prefer SSD, however there is no SSD available, so would still go to non-SSD nodes as long as there are nodes available in `us-east` </br>
If something goes wrong in our last `us-east` node: `kubectl taint nodes demo-worker3 type=ssd:NoSchedule` and we roll out more pods `kubectl scale deploy app-disk --replicas 20`,
notice that our new pods are now in `Pending` status because no nodes satisfy our node affinity rules </br>
Fix our nodes.
```
kubectl taint nodes demo-worker type=ssd:NoSchedule-
kubectl taint nodes demo-worker3 type=ssd:NoSchedule-
```
