Extension points: score. TaintToleration: Implements taints and tolerations. Implements extension points: filter, preScore, score. NodeName: Checks if a Pod spec node name matches the current node. Extension points: filter. NodePorts: Checks if a node has free ports for the requested Pod ports. Extension points: preFilter, filter. NodeAffinity: Implements node selectors and node affinity. Extension points: filter, score. PodTopologySpread: Implements Pod topology spread. Extension points: preFilter, filter, preScore, score. NodeUnschedulable: Filters out nodes that have .spec.unschedulable set to true. Extension points: filter. NodeResourcesFit: For pod-by-pod scheduling checks if the node has all the resources that the Pod is requesting. The score can use one of three strategies: LeastAllocated (default), MostAllocated and RequestedToCapacityRatio. For PodGroup scheduling calculates the resource utilization in the entire evaluated placement. The score uses the MostAllocated strategy. Extension points: preFilter, filter, score, placementScore. NodeResourcesBalancedAllocation: Favors nodes that would obtain a more balanced resource usage if the Pod is scheduled there. Extension points: score. VolumeBinding: Checks if the node has or if it can bind the requested Extension points: preFilter, filter, reserve, preBind, score. score extension point is enabled when StorageCapacityScoring feature is enabled. It prioritizes the smallest PVs that can fit the requested volume size. VolumeRestrictions: Checks that volumes mounted in the node satisfy restrictions that are specific to the volume provider. Extension points: filter. VolumeZone: Checks that volumes requested satisfy any zone requirements they might have. Extension points: filter. NodeVolumeLimits: Checks that CSI volume limits can be satisfied for the node. This plugin can also prevent pod placement to a node if no CSI driver is installed on the node, which requires VolumeLimitScaling feature gate to be enabled. It also allows cluster-autoscaler to accurately calculate number of nodes required for scheduling pending pods with attachable CSI volumes. Extension points: filter. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
