In my opinion, the least disruptive way to upgrade your LKE Kubernetes cluster would be to do the following:
- Add a new Node Pool using the desired count of the larger Linode plan
- Make sure your deployment allows the deployment of pods on the new node pool (see affinity and taint).
- Cordon then drain the original nodes so that all existing pods deploy on the new pool.
- Once all pods have drained from the original nodes, that smaller node pool can be safely deleted.
