kubectl taint nodes

  *  A taint consists of a key, value, and effect. As an argument here, it is expressed as key=value:effect.
  *  The key must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores, up to
253 characters.
  *  Optionally, the key can begin with a DNS subdomain prefix and a single '/', like example.com/my-app.
  *  The value is optional. If given, it must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens,
dots, and underscores, up to  63 characters.
  *  The effect must be NoSchedule, PreferNoSchedule or NoExecute.
  *  Currently taint can only apply to node.

Examples:
  # Update node 'foo' with a taint with key 'dedicated' and value 'special-user' and effect 'NoSchedule'
  # If a taint with that key and effect already exists, its value is replaced as specified
  kubectl taint nodes foo dedicated=special-user:NoSchedule
  
  # Remove from node 'foo' the taint with key 'dedicated' and effect 'NoSchedule' if one exists
  kubectl taint nodes foo dedicated:NoSchedule-
  
  # Remove from node 'foo' all the taints with key 'dedicated'
  kubectl taint nodes foo dedicated-
  
  # Add a taint with key 'dedicated' on nodes having label mylabel=X
  kubectl taint node -l myLabel=X  dedicated=foo:PreferNoSchedule
  
  # Add to node 'foo' a taint with key 'bar' and no value
  kubectl taint nodes foo bar:NoSchedule

Options:
    --all=false:
	Select all nodes in the cluster

    --allow-missing-template-keys=true:
	If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to
	golang and jsonpath output formats.

    --dry-run='none':
	Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without
	sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.

    --field-manager='kubectl-taint':
	Name of the manager used to track field ownership.

    -o, --output='':
	Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath,
	jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).

    --overwrite=false:
	If true, allow taints to be overwritten, otherwise reject taint updates that overwrite existing taints.

    -l, --selector='':
	Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching
	objects must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.

    --show-managed-fields=false:
	If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.

    --template='':
	Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format
	is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].

    --validate='strict':
	Must be one of: strict (or true), warn, ignore (or false). 		"true" or "strict" will use a schema to validate
	the input and fail the request if invalid. It will perform server side validation if ServerSideFieldValidation
	is enabled on the api-server, but will fall back to less reliable client-side validation if not. 		"warn" will
	warn about unknown or duplicate fields without blocking the request if server-side field validation is enabled
	on the API server, and behave as "ignore" otherwise. 		"false" or "ignore" will not perform any schema
	validation, silently dropping any unknown or duplicate fields.

Usage:
  kubectl taint NODE NAME KEY_1=VAL_1:TAINT_EFFECT_1 ... KEY_N=VAL_N:TAINT_EFFECT_N [options]
