node-sitter

Updated February 12, 2026

Node-sitter features

  • Settling pods when cluster nodes are shut down on interruptible virtual machines
  • Installing additional trusted root certificates
  • Configuring downloading container images via proxy
  • Setting additional startup parameters for kubelet

In order for node tainting to be performed before the payload is launched, new cluster nodes must be created by default with the specified taint. Taint will prevent the payload from launching until the node-sitter pod starts with the appropriate tolerance, configures the cluster nodes, and removes taint from them. The name taint/toleraton is specified in the installation parameters. If you do not specify this parameter, the cluster nodes will be configured in parallel with the payload launch.
