gcloud beta container node-pools delete - delete an existing node pool in a running cluster
gcloud beta container node-pools delete NAME [--async] [--cluster=CLUSTER] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(BETA) gcloud beta 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 beta 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.
