Pardha:
one more question i have got is … “make a worker node unavailable and schedule pods running on it” - so i have drained the node and i see the message “Pods with local storage (use --delete-local-data to override):” is it ok to override this ? i think it is a metrics pod that is using local storage ?
Memo Toro:
Hi @Pardha some basic metrics server use local volumes to store data. That means that data will be lost in case the volumes are destroyed or pods are destroyed. If you don’t want your data to be lost because of that, you might need to implement other metrics solutions such as prometheus,
Pardha:
make sense thank you @Memo Toro
Pratik Patel:
Does this question means “Drain node, without worrying pods running on it ?” or schedule pods running on it anywhere else !
Pardha:
@Pratik Patel - since there is no way we can schedule pods to other nodes(like migrate it to others) we can only drain nodes without worrying about pods or take proper backup before draining
Pratik Patel:
Got it…Thanks @Pardha
