Using resource pools to manage workloads in a container orchestration system

Container management equipment, comprising:

• at least one memory that stores computer executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to process the computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, from workload management controller equipment of a container management system, an object request to generate a node pool custom data object, wherein the object request specifies, for a workload application, an application namespace, and nodes comprised in the application namespace that support processing of the workload application;
• receiving, from the workload management controller equipment, an operator request to generate a node pool custom operator to manage the node pool custom data object in the container management system;
• and
• based on the node pool custom operator:
• restricting the nodes from being included in a different application namespace, and
• deploying the workload application to the nodes.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

• generating a custom container pool object of a container orchestration system comprising a namespace of processing nodes applicable to process a workload application;
• based on a custom container pool operator, deploying the workload application to the namespace;
• and
• based on a custom resource quota operator, modifying the processing nodes comprised in the namespace, wherein the modifying of the processing nodes comprises:
• modifying a taint applied to a first processing node of the processing nodes,
• modifying an affinity applied to a second processing node of the processing nodes.
