OpenShift pod tolerations

I have a question related to openshift pod tolerations. According to the document, tolerations are defined in pod. Spec not in deployment/deploymentconfigs Here is the scenario, 3 master nodes with following taints, no other nodes oc adm taint node master01 want=food:NoSchedule oc adm taint node master02 want=drink:NoSchedule oc adm taint node master03 want=money:NoSchedule After deploying a simple hello-world app, not a surprise that pod stucks in pending state because pod doesn't have any tolerations Name READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE hello-world-1-build 0/1 Pending 0 5s Now add a toleration that tolerates all taints to hello-world-1-build tolerations: - operator: Exists Now build is running but the application pod still in pending state, because I only added toleration to build pods. Adding the same tolerations to hello-world pod will change the state to running but if I want to scale to 10 pods, then I would have to manually add tolerations to all 10 pods. Is there a better way, without removing the node taints?
