Scale Node Pool
Set the pool’s node count (2–20). Scale-up deploys new nodes; scale-down cordons and drains the newest nodes first — honouring PodDisruptionBudgets, never force-deleting — then removes their VMs. Both run asynchronously; watch the pool’s status and status_message.
Scale-down credits the remainder on every cluster. Scale-up on a pay-as-you-go cluster accrues hourly; on a subscription cluster the API charges the pro-rated difference to the saved payment method (balance first) and raises the monthly price, while the dashboard routes it through checkout.
