kubernetes scheduler (kube-scheduler)
FIPS 140-3Developer toolsSchedules pods onto nodes. kube-scheduler watches for newly created pods with no assigned node, and selects a node for them to run on.
Schedules pods onto nodes. kube-scheduler watches for newly created pods with no assigned node, and selects a node for them to run on.
kube-scheduler assigns newly created Pods to nodes. It watches for Pods without a scheduled node, evaluates node feasibility and scoring (including taints/tolerations, affinities, and resource constraints), and binds Pods to the selected node.
Use this image when you need a hardened, minimal container image for running the Kubernetes scheduler as part of a Kubernetes control plane deployment.
