Hi community,

We’re excited to announce an upcoming update to the Okteto chart that improves how you configure and manage pod tolerations and node selectors. In Okteto chart 2.0, we are removing the current `tolerations` configuration within `values.yaml` in favor of the new approach using `globals.tolerations`, `globals.nodeSelectors` , `buildkit.tolerations` , and `buildkit.nodeSelectors`.

This change offers several benefits:

- **Improved Clarity:** `globals.tolerations` and `globals.nodeSelectors` sit alongside other global configurations for Okteto components, making the structure of your `values.yaml` file more intuitive.
- **Enhanced Flexibility:** This approach allows for fully defining custom tolerations and node selectors to be applied to all Okteto components, rather than a single toleration and node selector.

**Migration Steps:**

To prepare for this change, we recommend migrating your existing toleration configurations to the new format. Here’s how:

1. **Locate your `tolerations` configuration:** Your `tolerations` configuration might look something like this within `values.yaml`:

YAML

```yaml
tolerations:
  oktetoPool: okteto
  buildPool: build
  devPool: dev

```

1. **Move the configuration to `globals` and `buildkit`:** Write down the values you used for the `tolerations` configurations, and simply set those values in the corresponding fields under the appropriate sections of `globals.tolerations` and `globals.nodeSelectors`, or under the `buildkit.tolerations` and `buildkit.nodeSelectors` configurations in your `values.yaml`.

YAML

```yaml
globals:
  tolerations:
    okteto: # Replaces **tolerations.oktetoPool**
    - key: "okteto-node-pool"
      operator: "Equal"
      value: "<value in tolerations.oktetoPool>"
      effect: "NoSchedule"
    dev: # Replaces **tolerations.devPool**
    - key: "okteto-node-pool"
      operator: "Equal"
      value: "<value in tolerations.devPool>"
      effect: "NoSchedule"
  nodeSelectors:
    okteto:
      okteto-node-pool: "<value in tolerations.oktetoPool>"
    dev:
      okteto-node-pool: "<value in tolerations.devPool>"

buildkit: # Replaces **tolerations.buildPool**
  tolerations:
  - key: "okteto-node-pool"
    operator: "Equal"
    value: "<value in tolerations.buildPool>"
    effect: "NoSchedule"
  nodeSelectors:
    okteto-node-pool: "<value in tolerations.buildPool>"

```

**Looking Ahead:**

Starting in Okteto chart 1.21, the `tolerations` configuration within `values.yaml` will be marked as deprecated, and a warning message will be displayed during deployments. We encourage you to migrate your configurations before Okteto chart 2.0.

As always, we value your input! If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this change, feel free to leave a comment below or reach out to us on the usual channels.

Thanks,

The Okteto Team
