Hi, I’m not sure if this question is already asked, but I need a way to pause kubernetes cluster from DO billing it, while the cluster is in idle state.
For example, I’ve created this month kubernetes cluster with multiple nodes for playground purpose only, and I’m switching on that cluster from time to time for learning stuff only, but the monthly bill increasing everyday, even I don’t use it.
I don’t like to destroy the full cluster, but to pause without charging it, while is it in idle state.
BR, Igor

I remember reading somewhere that you can’t have a DOKS cluster with zero nodes. So the best you can do is reduce your cluster size down to one node of the cheapest type.
