Schedule the Pods on the same node (each time)

[michaelfresco]

Problem description

I'm trying to predetermine the names of the pods, and where they show up.
(on what node). My node names are: deb-1, deb-2, deb-3, deb-4, deb-5.
I want a predictable structure. Yet the pods run on a different node with
each deployment.

Actual:

myminio-pool-0-0 @ deb-3
myminio-pool-0-1 @ deb-5
myminio-pool-0-2 @ deb-4
myminio-pool-0-3 @ deb-1
myminio-pool-0-4 @ deb-2

Desired:

myminio-pool-0-0 @ deb-1
myminio-pool-0-1 @ deb-2
myminio-pool-0-2 @ deb-3
myminio-pool-0-3 @ deb-4
myminio-pool-0-4 @ deb-5

Managing the data becomes much easier if the pods (along with PVCs and PVs)
are scheduled on the same node each time you create the tenant.

Describe the solution you'd like

A nodeSelector template would be ideal:

    nodeSelector:
      name: deb-{{ .Instance }}

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have consulted the following pages:

• https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/install-deploy-manage/deploy-minio-tenant.html#
• https://github.com/minio/operator/blob/master/docs/operator-fields.md
• https://blog.min.io/add-pools-expand-capacity/

Additional context

I started with:

kubectl kustomize https://github.com/minio/operator/examples/kustomization/base/ > tenant-base.yaml

My tenant section looks like this:
