Scaling your cluster

In the previous section, we dealt with scaling the application running on top of a cluster. In this section, we'll explain how you can scale the actual cluster you are running. We will first discuss how you can manually scale your cluster. We'll start with scaling down our cluster to one node. Then, we'll configure the cluster autoscaler. The cluster autoscaler will monitor our cluster and will scale out when there are Pods that cannot be scheduled on our cluster.

Manually scaling your cluster

You can manually scale your AKS cluster by setting a static number of nodes for the cluster. The scaling of your cluster can be done either via the Azure portal or via the command line.

In this section, we'll show you how you can manually scale your cluster by scaling the cluster down to one node. This will cause Azure to remove one of the nodes from your cluster. First, the workload on the node that is about to be removed will be rescheduled...
