Remove a node from an MKE 4 cluster

The method for removing nodes from an MKE cluster depends on whether the node is a control plane node or a worker node.

Remove a control plane node

Refer to the k0s documentation, Remove or replace a controller for information on how to remove a control plane node from an MKE 4 cluster.

Remove a worker node

1. Delete the worker node from the cluster:

   kubectl --kubeconfig ~/.mke/mke.kubeconf delete node <worker_node_name>

2. Run the following command sequence on the node itself:

   k0s stop
   k0s reset
   reboot
