The syntax for affinity rules is tricky, especially when you want to apply multiple rules. For node affinity:

• you can express AND conditions with multiple clauses in the same match expression

• the preference syntax is different from Pod affinity - check the affinity API spec

The order that you do things is important too - typically you want all your nodes labelled correctly before you deploy, so the scheduler has all the information it needs.

And finally, preferences mean the scheduler can make a judgement, so you may not be able to get the exact results (5-1 spread on the agent nodes).
