Allow users to specify a node pool VM to delete (with or without scaling)
Title: Allow users to specify a node pool VM to delete (with or without scaling)
Description: In simple terms, it would be slick to provide the logic to target a specific VM to kill; whether independently or when scaling down a node pool.
For scaling, perhaps add a new parameter only validates and works if the -count
parameter is less-than current count. Something like -targetVM
or -targetNode
As an example, let's say you have the following:
- AKS Cluster Name: k8scluster01
- Pool Name: k8scluster01linuxpool01
And in that pool, you have 3 nodes with VM names:
- k8scluster01linuxpool01-AAAAAAA
- k8scluster01linuxpool01-BBBBBBBB
- k8scluster01linuxpool01-CCCCCCC
And assume that k8scluster01linuxpool01-CCCCCCC
has some kind of failure that has to be manually fixed by simply deleting the entire VM from the cluster.
If we had the ability to run Set-AksHciNodePool -clusterName "k8scluster01" -name "k8scluster01linuxpool01" -count 2 -targetNode "k8scluster01linuxpool01-CCCCCCC"
, it would be smart enough to see that -count 2
is less than current value and we are targeting a specific VM to remove.
For non-scaling situations where you just want to kill a VM and have it respawn, make a new cmdlet called Remove-AksHciNodePoolVM
or Remove-AksHciNodePoolNode
that handles this logic.
This would be useful for this very very old issue: https://github.com/Azure/aksArc/issues/8
