Priorities of Pods in Google Container Cluster

3/19/2016

Is it possible to schedule upcoming Pods/Containers based on their priorities? (if container1 is critical and needs resources, the google orchestrator can kill other low priority containers) If yes, is there some specific priorities tags (like: critical, monitoring, production...)?
