Kubernetes control plane component that assigns each newly created pod to a node.
Kube-scheduler watches newly created pods that have no node assigned, and selects a node for them to run on.
Factors taken into account for scheduling decisions include individual and collective resource requirements, hardware/software/policy constraints, affinity and anti-affinity specifications, data locality, inter-workload interference and deadlines.
