This page describes how to resize the Google Distributed Cloud control-plane node for the user cluster. Resizing the
control-plane node means adding or removing CPUs and changing the amount of memory from the control-plane node for the user cluster.
You cannot resize the control-plane node manually if you have enabled automatic node resizing.
To add or remove CPUs and memory in the control-plane node:
Replace ADMIN_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG with the path of your admin cluster kubeconfig file.
Replace USER_CONFIG_FILE with the path of your user cluster configuration file.
