If you are using this tutorial on a shared cluster, be sure that this will not adversely affect other tenants.\n\nThe previous section showed you how to spread your Pods across nodes to survive unplanned node failures, but you also need to plan for temporary node failures that occur due to planned maintenance.\n\nUse this command to get the nodes in your cluster.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get nodes\n```\n\nThis tutorial assumes a cluster with at least four nodes. If the cluster has more than four, use kubectl cordon to cordon all but four nodes. Constraining to four nodes will ensure Kubernetes encounters affinity and PodDisruptionBudget constraints when scheduling zookeeper Pods in the following maintenance simulation.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl cordon <node-name>\n```\n\nUse this command to get the zk-pdb PodDisruptionBudget.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get pdb zk-pdb\n```\n\nThe max-unavailable field indicates to Kubernetes that at most one Pod from zk StatefulSet can be unavailable at any time.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nNAME      MIN-AVAILABLE   MAX-UNAVAILABLE   ALLOWED-DISRUPTIONS   AGE\nzk-pdb    N/A             1                 1\n```\n\nIn one terminal, use this command to watch the Pods in the zk StatefulSet.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl get pods -w -l app=zk\n```\n\nIn another terminal, use this command to get the nodes that the Pods are currently scheduled on.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nfor i in 0 1 2; do kubectl get pod zk-$i --template {{.spec.nodeName}}; echo \"\"; done\n```\n\nThe output is similar to this\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```text\nkubernetes-node-pb41\nkubernetes-node-ixsl\nkubernetes-node-i4c4\n```\n\nUse kubectl drain to cordon and drain the node on which the zk-0 Pod is scheduled.\n\nBounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):\n```shell\nkubectl drain $(kubectl get pod zk-0 --template {{.spec.nodeName}}) --ignore-daemonsets --force --delete-emptydir-data\n```\n\nThe output is similar to this …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
