hi, does anyone know how to get coredns to work on tainted nodes? right now its only deploying pods to untainted nodes

I believe you need to add a toleration, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/taint-and-toleration/ for more details.

Yes but i did not deploy the coredns. pulumi eks or aws did

Then you’d have to try to patch the CoreDNS deployment. Before we go down that route, though, what’s the taint on the nodes that is preventing CoreDNS from running there?

hey sorry, I have been talking to AWS support. they cant even figure out what is the problem
