karpenter.sh/do-not-evict: true

Pods without an ownerRef (also called “controllerless” or "naked pods") will be evicted during voluntary node disruption, such as expiration or consolidation. A pod with the annotations: karpenter.sh/do-not-evict: true will cause its node to be opted out from voluntary node disruption workflows.

kubectl annotate
kubectl annotate pod your-pod-name karpenter.sh/do-not-evict='true' -n yournamespace
