# Stopping a Node

#### Scenario

After a node in the cluster is stopped, services on the node are also stopped. Before stopping a node, ensure that discontinuity of the services on the node will not result in adverse impacts.

#### Notes and Constraints

- Deleting a node will lead to pod migration, which may affect services. Therefore, delete nodes during off-peak hours.
- Unexpected risks may occur during node deletion. Back up related data in advance.
- While the node is being deleted, the backend will set the node to the unschedulable state.
- Only worker nodes can be stopped.

#### Procedure

1. Log in to the CCE console. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Management > Nodes.
2. In the node list, click the name of the node to be stopped.
3. On the node details page displayed, click the node name.
