Support selection of nodes to remove when scaling down
Support selection of nodes to remove when scaling down.
At the moment when you scale down then the oldest nodes will always stay. Would be a nice feature to be able to remove a selected node when scaling down or maybe manually.

This feature would still be useful today

AKS is simply not stable enough to never have nodes behaving unexpectedly. Being able to recycle the node (not restart, but remove it and deploy a new one) would be a solution.

We see the same need now, as the node disk runs out of storage because docker fails to garbage collect images. Although we have a manual workaround to replace the node, it would be nice if we could be given the option to recycle/replace a node automatically when a condition is met indicating that the node is getting unhealthy

recently hit an issue with a long running cluster running out of Ephemeral Storage, tried scaling up and down again and it created a new node that worked then removed the working node again, at the moment without being able to select which node to remove to allow me to cycle them there is no way for me to fix this, cluster is on latest version so i cant use the upgrade trick to cycle the nodes

I would like this feature. When a node is in a bad state like bellow. I get a lot of disk pressure, and cannot recycle the bad node.
Or delete oldest node.

This feature is really a must. Its a big limitation not to have this feature.

either allowing us to choose which nodes to delete when scaling down, or having the oldest nodes deleted during a scale down operation would both be better than the current behavior (newest nodes are deleted during scaledown)

I agree with the comment. I've got a node which has run out of diskspace. I just want to scale up and back down to get rid of the oldest node. As it stands, how can I *ever* delete the first/oldest node?

I would recommend by default removing the oldest nodes upon scaling down
