Answer
Scheduler evaluates nodes via filters and scoring. Predicates check resource availability, taints, affinity; priorities score nodes and top-scored node is selected.
Quick Answer
The scheduler filters nodes (eliminates those that fail hard requirements — resources, taints, affinity), then scores the remaining nodes (prefers nodes with most available resources, matching preferred affinity, spreading Pods evenly). It picks the highest-scoring node and binds the Pod to it by writing to the API server.
