How to delete Kubernetes Worker Node

1. Log in to any Kubernetes Master node.

2. Mark the Node as unschedulable to prevent new pods from being assigned to it:

   kubectl cordon <node_ID>
   kubectl drain <node_ID>
   

3. Remove the Kubernetes Node:

   kubectl delete node cmp<node_ID>
   

   Wait until the workloads are gracefully deleted and the Kubernetes Node is removed.

4. Verify that the node is absent in the Kubernetes Nodes list:

   kubectl get nodes

delete kubernetes worker node

Here We are deleting kubernetes node "nodeone-1"
