<p>I have a cluster of 5 worker nodes, then I shutdown one of the workers and the pods being executed in it are distributed to the other nodes.</p>

<p>Now I start again the worker node but the pods are not redistributed again so I have one node almost free.</p>

<p>Is there any way to force kubernetes to redistribute the load to the "new" worker node?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I don't believe there's a builtin mechanic to 'load balance' the cluster.
Over time, the system will return to normal by itself. </p>

<p>If you want to trigger a bit of redistribution, you could scale up the deployments that can be run in parallel, then scale them down again. Others you can re-release.</p>
