nodes drain

acloud-toolkit nodes drain

drain a kubernetes node with additional options not supported by kubectl

Synopsis

The acloud-toolkit nodes drain command is a CLI tool that allows you to gracefully remove a Kubernetes node from service, ensuring that all workloads running on the node are rescheduled to other nodes in the cluster before the node is taken offline for maintenance or other purposes. This command provides additional options that are not supported by the standard kubectl drain command.
