Delete node pool
Node pools
Delete Node Pool
Remove a pool and all its nodes. Each node is cordoned and drained (PodDisruptionBudgets are honoured) before its VM is terminated, one at a time; the operation runs asynchronously and stops — with the pool intact — if a node cannot be emptied.
The last pool of a cluster cannot be deleted, and the cluster keeps at least 2 worker nodes.
