To ensure a consistent user experience, TKE plans to deactivate the scaling group service on June 13, 2022. If your cluster has a created scaling group, you can convert it into a node pool through the CreateClusterNodePoolFromExistingAsg API or in the console. The conversion will not affect your business.
1. Log in to the TKE console and click Cluster on the left sidebar. 2. On the cluster management list page, click the target cluster ID.
3. On the cluster details page, select Node Management > Scaling group.
4. On the node pool list page, select More > Create Node Pool on the right of the scaling group.
A node pool provides more stable and comprehensive elastic scaling capabilities than a scaling group, facilitating node creation, management, and termination. After the deactivation, you can use the node pool to manage created scaling groups. For more information, see Node Pool Overview. Deactivation plan
Creation entry closure: Starting from June 6, 2022, no more scaling groups can be created in the console or through the API.
Feature deactivation and switch: The scaling group service will be deactivated on June 13, 2022. We recommend you convert your scaling group into the node pool as instructed in "Converting a scaling group into a node pool" before the deactivation date. Scaling groups that still exist after the date will be automatically converted into node pools for unified management.
