 [taints](/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/taint-and-toleration/) that match the conditions
 affecting the node. An example of this is when the `status` of the Ready condition

 or a `node.kubernetes.io/not-ready` taint, for a `False` status, to be added to the Node.
 
 These taints affect pending pods as the scheduler takes the Node's taints into consideration when
