| `SURGE` | SURGE is the traditional way of upgrading a node pool. max_surge and max_unavailable determines the level of upgrade parallelism. |
| `SHORT_LIVED` | SHORT_LIVED is the dedicated upgrade strategy for QueuedProvisioning and flex start node pools scaled up only by enqueueing to the Dynamic Workload Scheduler (DWS). |
