I'm currently have a Kubernetes Application using AWS EKS. I also created nodegroup; initial I provisioned low instance capacity on that nodeGroup can only handle 4 pods. When I tried to rollout an update on my deployments error occurred insufficient pods, this is mainly due to the under capacity instance type that I initially provision. My question is it possible to update the live nodeGroup instancetype?
I solved the problem though by creating additional nodegroup with scaled up instance type. I'm just wondering if it's possible to edit the live nodegroup instance type for scaling up.
EKS nodegroups instance types cannot be changed after creation. You'll have to create a new node group every time you'd like a new instance type.
