How to remove NotReady nodes from kubernetes cluster automatically

5/28/2019

I'm running the kuberenets cluster on bare metal servers and my cluster nodes keep added and removed regularly. But when a node is removed, kubernetes does not remove it automatically from nodes list and kubectl get nodes keep showing NotReady nodes. Is there any automated way to achieve this? I want similar behavior for nodes as kubernetes does for pods.
