How Do You Prevent Tasks From Running On Hybris Commerce Front-End Storefront Nodes?

Additional Background With OOTB Hybris Commerce, all nodes are eligible to process tasks from the task queue. In production, front-end storefront nodes should be configured to process customer traffic only, and not used to process backoffice tasks, which tend to require a significant amount of system resources at times.

Strange Hybris 6.3 Commerce B2C Accelerator Build Error on Windows 10
