Label constraints can be used to schedule containers to meet the security policy requirements. Label constraints allow you to specify which nodes a service can run on based on the labels assigned to the nodes1. For example, you can label the nodes that are intended for development with env=dev and the nodes that are intended for production with env=prod. Then, you can use the --constraint flag when creating a service to restrict it to run only on nodes with a certain label value. For example, docker service create --name dev-app --constraint 'node.labels.env == dev' ... will create a service that runs only on development nodes2. Similarly, docker service create --name prod-app --constraint 'node.labels.env == prod' ... will create a service that runs only on production nodes3. This way, you can ensure that development and production containers are running on separate nodes in a given Swarm cluster. References:

Creating one pod and adding all the resources needed for each application is not a good way to accomplish the goal of grouping Kubernetes-specific resources for each application. This is because pods are the smallest unit of a Kubernetes application, and they are designed to run a single container or a set of tightly coupled containers that share the same network and storage resources1. Pods are ephemeral and can be created and destroyed by the Kubernetes system at any time. Therefore, putting multiple applications in one pod would make them harder to manage, scale, and update independently. A better way to accomplish the goal is to use namespaces, which are logical clusters within a physical cluster that can isolate resources, policies, and configurations for different applications2. Namespaces can also help organize secrets, which are Kubernetes objects that store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, and keys3. References:

 The command ‘kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -I env=development’ does not display all the pods in the cluster that are labeled as ‘env: development’. The reason is that the flag -I is not a valid option for kubectl get pods. The correct flag to use is --selector or -l, which allows you to filter pods by labels1. Labels are key-value pairs that can be attached to Kubernetes objects to identify, group, or select them2. For example, to label a pod with env=development, one can run:

kubectl label pods my-pod env=development

To display all the pods that have the label env=development, one can run:

kubectl get pods --selector env=development

or

kubectl get pods -l env=development

The --all-namespaces flag can be used to list pods across all namespaces3. Therefore, the correct command to display all the pods in the cluster that are labeled as ‘env: development’ is:

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces --selector env=development

or

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l env=development References:
