ing/config) feature allows you to tune the algorithms and other settings of the kube-scheduler. You can easily enable or disable specific functionality (contained in plugins) in selected scheduling phases without having to rewrite the rest of the configuration. Furthermore, a single kube-scheduler instance can serve different configurations, called profiles. Pods can select the profile they want to be scheduled under via the `.spec.schedulerName` field.

### CSI Migration - AzureDisk...

    * to be scheduler by default scheduler, instead of Daemonset controller. When it is enabled,
    * the `NodeAffinity` term (instead of `.spec.nodeName`) is added to the DaemonSet Pods;
    * this enables the default scheduler to bind the Pod to the target host. If node affinity
    * of DaemonSet Pod already exists, it will be replaced.

Pod Priority and Preemption in Kubernetes ([#564](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/issues/564))

- Pod priority and preemption enables Kubernetes scheduler to schedule more important Pods first and when cluster is out of resources, it removes less important pods to create room for more important ones. The importance is specified by priority.
