Feature Description

You can enable the Diameter endpoint to dynamically create pods on a designated node or host. This feature might be a requirement when you want to ensure that the nodes are meeting specific security and regulatory parameters, or the node is closer to the datacenter in terms of geographical proximity. The node affinity determines the node where PCF creates the Diameter endpoint pods, which are based on the affinity towards a node or group of nodes. Node affinity is a set of rules that allows you to define the custom labels on nodes and specify the label selectors within the pods. Based on these rules, the scheduler determines the location where the pod can be placed.
Note

If you do not specify a node, then the Kubernetes scheduler determines the node where the Diameter endpoint creates a pod.

PCF supports both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity on its external interfaces/endpoints (inbound and outbound).
