Best Practices

Separation of Agones from GameServer nodes

When running in production, Agones should be scheduled on a dedicated pool of nodes, distinct from where Game Servers are scheduled for better isolation and resiliency. By default Agones prefers to be scheduled on nodes labeled with agones.dev/agones-system=true and tolerates the node taint agones.dev/agones-system=true:NoExecute. If no dedicated nodes are available, Agones will run on regular nodes.
