  ### Kubernetes Node Groups — available

  Worker nodes can be grouped within a cluster to separate workloads logically and apply consistent scheduling labels across a group. More in [Node Groups](/managed-kubernetes/node-groups).

  * create, rename, and delete node groups from the Portal or via `/v1/kubernetes_node_groups` PAPI endpoint
  * nodes can be assigned to a group at add time, or moved later individually or in bulk
  * existing clusters have been automatically included into a default node group

  ### Kubernetes worker nodes — addable in nearby locations

  When the cluster's primary location has no available bare-metal capacity, worker nodes can be added in a nearby location with the same location prefix (e.g. AMS2 or AMS3 for a cluster in AMS1). More in [Add a worker node](/managed-kubernetes/service-management).

  * cross-location connectivity handled automatically over GPN; no manual network configuration required
  * Portal shows a Location selector when adding a node and a Location column in the nodes list
