This topic describes how you can delete an Amazon EKS managed node group. When you delete a managed node group, Amazon EKS first sets the minimum, maximum, and desired size of your Auto Scaling group to zero. This then causes your node group to scale down.

Before each instance is terminated, Amazon EKS sends a signal to drain the Pods from that node. If the Pods haven't drained after a few minutes, Amazon EKS lets Auto Scaling continue the termination of the instance. After every instance is terminated, the Auto Scaling group is deleted.
Before each instance is terminated, Amazon EKS sends a signal to drain that node. During the drain process, Kubernetes does the following for each pod on the node: runs any configured `preStop` lifecycle hooks, sends `SIGTERM` signals to the containers, then waits for the `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` for graceful shutdown. If the node hasn't been drained after 5 minutes, Amazon EKS lets Auto Scaling continue the forced termination of the instance. After all instances have been terminated, the Auto Scaling group is deleted.
