Summary of the Pull Request
What is this about?
We want to discard nodes as soon as they're done completing their assigned tasks. This is different from the current behavior where we try to re-use nodes by reimaging them. Originally, this discard process was accomplished by removing scale-in protection and letting auto scale take care of everything. The issue with that approach is that scale-in actions only happen when the work queue for the pool is empty so letting auto scale delete the nodes won't work for a system under load.
This PR changes our approach to deleting nodes right away instead of reimaging or waiting for scale-in actions. The behavior continues to be behind the "NodeDisposalStrategies" env var until we decide to enable it by default.
