- [WithNodePool(IResourceBuilder<T>, IResourceBuilder<KubernetesNodePoolResource>)](/reference/api/csharp/aspire.hosting.kubernetes/kubernetesenvironmentextensions/methods.md#withnodepool-iresourcebuilder-t-iresourcebuilder-kubernetesnodepoolresource) : `IResourceBuilder<T>` `extension` `ats export` -- Schedules a compute resource's workload on the specified Kubernetes node pool. This translates to a Kubernetes `nodeSelector` in the pod specification targeting the named node pool.
