## Removing an etcd node
-### 1) Remove old etcd members from the cluster runtime
-
-Acquire a shell prompt into one of the etcd containers and use etcdctl to remove the old member. Use a etcd master that will not be removed for that.
-
-```sh
-# list all members
-etcdctl member list
-
-# run remove for each member you want pass to remove-node.yml in step 2
-etcdctl member remove MEMBER_ID
-# careful!!! if you remove a wrong member you will be in trouble
-
-# wait until you do not get a 'Failed' output from
-etcdctl member list
-
-# note: these command lines are actually much bigger, if you are not inside an etcd container, since you need to pass all certificates to etcdctl.
-```
