Unassign Machine ​

Machines assigned to a Machine Pool can be unassigned and reused for different Machine Pool / Clusters. The unassignment will gracefully remove the machine from its Kubernetes cluster and drain the deployed resources.

WARNING

Before unassigning machines, make sure to verify the cluster's healthiness and capacity.

  1. Go to Machines → your machine → edit
  2. Under Machine Pool, select No Machine PoolUnassign Machine
  3. Hit Save and roll out the change manually later on, or hit Save & Apply to immediately start the unassignment.

Unassigning non-responsive or orphaned Machines ​

In case you encounter a non-responsive or orphaned machine, meltcloud allows to Force remove a Machine from its Machine Pool.

  1. Go to Machines → your machine
  2. Select Force Remove From PoolForce remove Machine

WARNING

Be aware that you need to manually delete the node from Kubernetes after force-removing it in the Console.
