We are using a shared EKS cluster to install and manage our dev, stage, and prod environments. In order to isolate the environments, we use taints, tolerations, and affinity to dedicated nodes.  
Is there a way to add these scheduling control options like taints, tolerations, affinity, antiaffinity to kotsadm pods?

Hello there!

This should be possible with KOTSADM CLI [kots admin-console generate-manifests - Kots.io](https://kots.io/kots-cli/admin-console/generate-manifests/)

Thanks.
