<p>I have a Kubernetes cluster on GKE. I know Kubernetes will spread pods with the same labels, but this isn't happening for me. Here is my node description.</p>

<p>As you can see, all four pods are on the same node. Should I do something in additional to make this work?</p>

<p>By default, pods run with unbounded CPU and memory limits. This means that any pod in the system will be able to consume as much CPU and memory on the node that executes the pod.
<a href="http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/limitrange/" rel="nofollow">http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/limitrange/</a></p>

<p>When you don't specify the CPU limit kubernetes will not know how much CPU resources are required and will try to create pods in one node.</p>

<p>Here is an example of <code>Deployment</code></p>

<pre><code>apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: jenkins

  replicas: 4
  template:

            - containerPort: 8080
          resources:

      imagePullSecrets:
         - name: registrypullsecret
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the output of the <code>kubectl describe po | grep Node</code> after creating the deployment.</p>

<pre><code>~ aws_kubernetes  naveen@GuessWho  ~/revature/devops/jenkins   jenkins ● k describe po | grep Node

</code></pre>

<p>It is now created in 4 different nodes. It is based on cpu limits on your cluster. You could increase / decrease <code>replicas</code> to see it being deployed in different nodes. </p>

<p>This isn't GKE or AWS specific.</p>
