cc <@UB8A66MPS> I think there is a known problem where nodepools trigger replacements in the underlying provider, right?

Hmm I do seem to remember that, it’s been a while though

Can you look at the detailed diff <@UPP2LRB61>?

I removed the `nodeConfig` and it reported no changes

I don't know how far the default nodeConfig for GCP clusters is from that, but if they're going to be torn down immediately it doesn't matter I guess :shrug:

Isn’t there some option like `removeDefaultNodePool`?
