 ### Affinity
 Affinity configuration means allowing the data movement backup to run in the nodes specified. There are two ways to define it:
 -  It could be defined by `MatchLabels`. The labels defined in `MatchLabels` means a `LabelSelectorOpIn` operation by default, so in the current context, they will be treated as affinity rules. In the above sample, it defines to run data movement backups in nodes with label `beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type` of value `Standard_B4ms` (Run data movement backups in `Standard_B4ms` nodes only).

 Node-agent concurrency configurations allow you to configure the concurrent number of node-agent loads per node. When the resources are sufficient in nodes, you can set a large concurrent number, so as to reduce the backup/restore time; otherwise, the concurrency should be reduced, otherwise, the backup/restore may encounter problems, i.e., time lagging, hang or OOM kill.
