  1. To add a new Node Pool to your cluster, navigate to the cluster’s details page and select the add a node pool option to the right of the node pools section.

  2. In the new window that appears, select the hardware resources that you’d like to add to your new Node Pool. To the right of each plan, select the plus + and minus - to add or remove a Linode to a node pool one at time. Once you’re satisfied with the number of nodes in a node pool, select Add Pool to include it in your configuration. If you decide that you need more or fewer hardware resources after you deploy your cluster, you can always edit your Node Pool.
