// MaxSkew describes the degree to which pods may be unevenly distributed.
  // When `whenUnsatisfiable=DoNotSchedule`, it is the maximum permitted difference
  // between the number of matching pods in the target topology and the global minimum.
  // The global minimum is the minimum number of matching pods in an eligible domain
