Scale down gets blocked if escalator pod is running on the "tainted to be scaled down node" #139

Thanks for raising this issue @ajayaa!

Unfortunately Escalator isn't designed for scaling nodes that run service based workloads like web servers or Escalator itself. You may also run into issues with Escalator's operation if it gets terminated due to the node it's running on gets terminated.

I would recommend creating a seperate node group for running your those service based workloads and look into cluster-autoscaler for scaling them.
