What is the default node affinity of a Cron job pod? How can we set it manually?

I have a pod and have set its affinity to node3.

However, the cron job container is still getting completed on node1 all the time when it triggers.

Essentially, in your CronJob spec, the template is the PodSpec and that's where you need to configure the 'Node Affinity'. For example,

apiVersion: batch/v1beta1
kind: CronJob
metadata:
  name: hello
spec:
  schedule: "*/1 * * * *"
  jobTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: hello
            image: busybox
            args:
            - /bin/sh
            - -c
            - date; echo Hello from the Kubernetes cluster
          restartPolicy: OnFailure
          nodeSelector: 
            name: node3

This is assuming the label ️ in your node is name=node3.
