gcloud container node-pools delete

NAME
gcloud container node-pools delete - delete an existing node pool in a running cluster
SYNOPSIS
gcloud container node-pools delete NAME [--async] [--cluster=CLUSTER] [--location=LOCATION     | --region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud 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 deleting Pods on each node in the node pool. Each node in a node pool is drained by deleting 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.
EXAMPLES
To delete the "node-pool-1" node pool from the cluster "sample-cluster", run: 
gcloud container node-pools delete node-pool-1 --cluster=sample-cluster
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
The name of the node pool to delete.
FLAGS
--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:
--location=LOCATION
Compute zone or region (e.g. us-central1-a or us-central1) for the cluster. Overrides the default compute/region or compute/zone value for this command invocation. Prefer using this flag over the --region or --zone flags.
--region=REGION
Compute region (e.g. us-central1) for a regional cluster. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
--zone=ZONE, -z ZONE
Compute zone (e.g. us-central1-a) for a zonal cluster. Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
