 Inter-pod affinity and anti-affinity allow you to constrain which nodes your pod is eligible to be scheduled *based on
 labels on pods that are already running on the node* rather than based on labels on nodes. The rules are of the form "this pod should (or, in the case of
 anti-affinity, should not) run in an X if that X is already running one or more pods that meet rule Y". Y is expressed
