title: How to prevent pods scheduling to a node after a pod has failed on it, in GCE?
body: <p>I have a setup with 1 to 1 mapping between pods and nodes, where each node has a local ssd, and each pod writes custom data to that ssd.  If a pod dies ungracefully, it can leave the local ssd in a state where it'd be unpredictable if other pods mounted onto it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm planning on using cluster auto scaling, so my thinking is that if I can prevent containers being scheduled on the node, GCE will remove the node, and create a new clean one?  How do I go about preventing the node having new pods scheduled to it?</p>
