    NodePool(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

NodePool contains the name and configuration for a cluster's
node pool. Node pools are a set of nodes (i.e. VM's), with a
common configuration and specification, under the control of the
cluster master. They may have a set of Kubernetes labels applied
to them, which may be used to reference them during pod
scheduling. They may also be resized up or down, to accommodate
the workload.

### NodePoolMaintenancePolicy

    NodePoolMaintenancePolicy(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Defines the maintenance policy for the node pool.

### PlacementPolicy

    PlacementPolicy(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

PlacementPolicy defines the placement policy used by the node
pool.

### QueuedProvisioning

    QueuedProvisioning(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

QueuedProvisioning defines the queued provisioning used by
the node pool.

### Status

    Status(value)

The current status of the node pool instance.

### UpdateInfo

    UpdateInfo(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

UpdateInfo contains resource (instance groups, etc), status
and other intermediate information relevant to a node pool
upgrade.

### UpgradeSettings

    UpgradeSettings(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

These upgrade settings control the level of parallelism and the
level of disruption caused by an upgrade.

maxUnavailable controls the number of nodes that can be
simultaneously unavailable.

maxSurge controls the number of additional nodes that can be added
to the node pool temporarily for the time of the upgrade to increase
the number of available nodes.

(maxUnavailable + maxSurge) determines the level of parallelism (how
many nodes are being upgraded at the same time).

Note: upgrades inevitably introduce some disruption since workloads
need to be moved from old nodes to new, upgraded ones. Even if
maxUnavailable=0, this holds true. (Disruption stays within the
limits of PodDisruptionBudget, if it is configured.)

Consider a hypothetical node pool with 5 nodes having maxSurge=2,
maxUnavailable=1. This means the upgrade process upgrades 3 nodes
simultaneously. It creates 2 additional (upgraded) nodes, then it
brings down 3 old (not yet upgraded) nodes at the same time. This
ensures that there are always at least 4 nodes available.

These upgrade settings configure the upgrade strategy for the node
pool. Use strategy to switch between the strategies applied to the
node pool.

If the strategy is SURGE, use max_surge and max_unavailable to
control the level of parallelism and the level of disruption caused
by upgrade.

1. maxSurge controls the number of additional nodes that can be added to the node pool temporarily for the time of the upgrade to increase the number of available nodes.
2. maxUnavailable controls the number of nodes that can be simultaneously unavailable.
3. (maxUnavailable + maxSurge) determines the level of parallelism (how many nodes are being upgraded at the same time).

If the strategy is BLUE_GREEN, use blue_green_settings to configure
the blue-green upgrade related settings.

1. standard_rollout_policy is the default policy. The policy is used to control the way blue pool gets drained. The draining is executed in the batch mode. The batch size could be specified as either percentage of the node pool size or the number of nodes. batch_soak_duration is the soak time after each batch gets drained.
2. node_pool_soak_duration is the soak time after all blue nodes are drained. After this period, the blue pool nodes will be deleted.
