Question

Pod eviction cascade during node drain

Draining a node triggers PDB violations and pods bounce to adjacent nodes, causing CPU pressure there. How do you sequence drains without triggering cascading evictions?

Cordon first, then drain with --ignore-daemonsets. PDB maxUnavailable=1 prevents mass eviction. Wait for stabilisation between nodes.
