<p>I am running a pod with large memory requirements in the EKS cluster. If the pod has an error state or OOMKilled error I would like the node to scale down somehow but capture the error. Is this possible? As of now, I have to manually delete the pod for the autoscaling group to trigger the node to be removed.</p>

<p>You can use probes like liveliness and rediness probs</p>
