EKS Node selector - possible labels

EKS is automatically adding labels to your nodes as you can see below. This information can be used for your node selectors and anti-affinity rules. That said, Placement Groups aren't automatically included as label on the node. You should define custom labels for identifying the nodes in you placement group and expose the topology for the node selectors. There is a blog post which shows you how to do this as well.
