-Kubernetes supports [Pod-tolerations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/taint-and-toleration), which are per default configured with a *timeout* of `300s` (5 minutes!). This means, that affected Pods will *remain* for a timespan of 300s on a *broken* node before eviction takes place
-```
-$ kubectl -n <namespace> describe pod <pod-name>
+Kubernetes knows something like a `--pod-eviction-timeout`, which is a grace period (**default: 5 minutes**) for deleting pods on failed nodes. This timeout is useful to keep pods on nodes, which are rebooted in term of maintenance reasons. So, first of all, nothing happens to the pods on failed nodes until *pod eviction timeout* exceeded. If the *pod eviction period* times out, Kubernetes re-schedules *workloads* (Deployments, StatefulSets) to working nodes. As *DaemonSets* are bound to a specific node they will not be re-scheduled on other nodes.
 
-[...]
-Tolerations:                 node.kubernetes.io/not-ready:NoExecute op=Exists for 300s
-                             node.kubernetes.io/unreachable:NoExecute op=Exists for 300s
-[...]
-```
-
-To be more reactive Pod-tolerations can be configured as follows:
-```
-kind: Deployment or StatefulSet
-apiVersion: apps/v1
-metadata:
-[...]
-spec:
-[...]
-  template:
-  [...]
-    spec:
-      tolerations:
-      - key: "node.kubernetes.io/unreachable"
-        operator: "Exists"
-        effect: "NoExecute"
-        tolerationSeconds: 30
-      - key: "node.kubernetes.io/not-ready"
-        operator: "Exists"
-        effect: "NoExecute"
-        tolerationSeconds: 30

 ## Keep your cluster balanced <a name="user-content-keep-cluster-balanced"></a>
-Kubernetes, in first place, takes care of high availability, but not of well balance of pod/node.
-
-In case of `Deployment` or `StatefulSet` a `topologySpreadConstraint` needs to be specified:
-```
-kind: Deployment or StatefulSet
-apiVersion: apps/v1
-metadata:
-[...]
-spec:
-[...]
-  template:
-  [...]
-    spec:
-      # Prevent to schedule more than one pod per node
-      topologySpreadConstraints:
-      - labelSelector:
-          matchLabels:
-            app: {{ .Chart.Name }}-{{ .Values.stage }}
-        maxSkew: 1
-        topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname
-        whenUnsatisfiable: DoNotSchedule
-      [...]
-```
-`DaemonSet` workloads do not support `topologySpreadConstraints` at all.
+Kubernetes, in first place, takes care of high availability, but not of well balance of pod/node. [This](https://itnext.io/keep-you-kubernetes-cluster-balanced-the-secret-to-high-availability-17edf60d9cb7) project could be a solution! Pod/Node balance is not a subject to *DaemonSets*.
