<p>I'm currently have a Kubernetes Application using AWS EKS. I also created nodegroup; initial I provisioned low instance capacity on that nodeGroup can only handle 4 pods. When I tried to rollout an update on my deployments error occurred insufficient pods, this is mainly due to the under capacity instance type that I initially provision. My question is it possible to update the live nodeGroup instancetype?</p>

<p>I solved the problem though by creating additional nodegroup with scaled up instance type. I'm just wondering if it's possible to edit the live nodegroup instance type for scaling up.</p>

<p>EKS nodegroups instance types cannot be changed after creation. You'll have to create a new node group every time you'd like a new instance type.</p>
