Description
You can now resize the VM size (SKU) of an existing VMSS-based node pool in a single command using az aks nodepool update --node-vm-size .
When you trigger this update, the AKS resource provider performs a rolling upgrade by:
- Surging new nodes with the target VM size.
- Cordoning and draining the old nodes.
- Deleting the old nodes.
This avoids the manual create/cordon/drain/delete workflow.
