# Confirm kafka-1 is running on node with label name=node-1 -- No it's running on node labelled name=node-2
docker run -it --rm --volumes-from data levenson/kubectl get pods kafka-1 -o wide --namespace=realtime
NAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE       NODE
kafka-1   1/1       Running   0          1h        10.161.34.65

Found the issue was in the context placement of the nodeSelector key. I isolated using --validate. This is now working as expected.

@lachie83 awesome this is great news. Do the docs need to be updated?
