Description

To delete a single node in a pool, send a DELETE request to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/{cluster_id}/node_pools/{node_pool_id}/nodes/{node_id}.

Appending the skip_drain=1 query parameter to the request causes node draining to be skipped. Omitting the query parameter or setting its value to 0 carries out draining prior to deletion.

Appending the replace=1 query parameter to the request causes the node to be replaced by a new one after deletion. Omitting the query parameter or setting its value to 0 deletes without replacement.

Parameters

cluster_id string required

A unique ID that can be used to reference a Kubernetes cluster.

Min: 1

node_pool_id string required

node_id string required
