How to target specific node types in hetzner-k3s without node labels?

[abhishek-ch]

I'm running a Kubernetes cluster with hetzner-k3s and have multiple node groups with different specifications. Since hetzner-k3s doesn't currently support node labels, I'm looking for alternative ways to schedule workloads on specific node types.

Currently, pods with high CPU/memory usage sometimes crash entire nodes. While I could overallocate resources, I'd prefer to properly direct workloads to appropriate node types.

Are there any workarounds or alternative methods to hint/guide pod scheduling to specific node types in this setup?

Node labels and taints are supported for static node pools at the moment but not for autoscaled ones. What kind of pools are you using for this?

Autoscaled one but it's good to know that it works on the static pod, then I can create static node pool with label
