Change the size of the node group

In Managed Kubernetes clusters, you can change the number of nodes on the cloud server — reduce or increase the number of nodes in the group. When you reduce the number of nodes on the cloud server in a group, random nodes are removed. If necessary, you can delete a specific node. You can change the size of the node group on the cloud server in the control panel or via the API Managed Kubernetes.

In Managed Kubernetes clusters on dedicated servers, you cannot increase the number of nodes in a group, but you can delete a specific node. You can delete a specific node on a dedicated server only in the control panel.
