Nodes and Node Groups
NETWAYS Managed Kubernetes clusters consist of two or more node groups: one node group for the control plane and one or more node groups for workers.
Deletion of Node Groups
The node groups created when a NETWAYS Managed Kubernetes cluster is provisioned cannot be deleted.
For the worker node group, however, the number of nodes can be scaled down to 0.
Scaling Node Groups
Nodes are organized into node groups. If you want to create nodes or delete existing ones, you need to scale the node group. The node group determines which Flavor is used for new nodes.
To scale a node group, select the Nodegroups tab and click Resize in the context menu. Here you choose the desired number of nodes and finally click Resize Nodegroup.
Scaling the Control Plane Node Group
It is not possible to scale the control‑plane node group. When a NETWAYS Managed Kubernetes cluster is created, this group is fixed at 1 or 3 nodes.
Creating Node Groups
To create a new node group, click the Create Nodegroup button and adjust the node group to your preferences.
