gcloud alpha container node-pools delete - delete an existing node pool in a running cluster
gcloud alpha container node-pools delete NAME [--async] [--cluster=CLUSTER] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha container node-pools delete deletes a node pool from a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. When you delete a node pool, GKE drains all the nodes in the node pool. The draining process involves GKE evicting Pods on each node in the node pool. Each node in a node pool is drained by evicting Pods with an allotted graceful termination period of MAX_POD. MAX_POD is the maximum terminationGracePeriodSeconds set on the Pods scheduled to the node with a cap of one hour.
To delete the "node-pool-1" node pool from the cluster "sample-cluster", run:
$ gcloud alpha container node-pools delete node-pool-1 \ --cluster=sample-cluster
- NAME
The name of the node pool to delete.
- --async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
- --cluster=CLUSTER
The cluster from which to delete the node pool. Overrides the default container/cluster property value for this command invocation.
- At most one of these can be specified:
- --region=REGION
Compute region (e.g. us-central1) for the cluster.
- --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE
Compute zone (e.g. us-central1-a) for the cluster. Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud container node-pools delete
$ gcloud beta container node-pools delete
