=== NodePool CRD (beta)

The Redpanda Operator introduces the NodePool custom resource, which lets you manage groups of Redpanda brokers as independent units within a single cluster. Each NodePool creates its own StatefulSet, giving you fine-grained control over broker placement, resources, and lifecycle.

NodePools enable blue/green node pool migrations: you create a new NodePool on the target Kubernetes node pool, and the operator automatically replicates data and decommissions old brokers with zero downtime. This replaces the manual, broker-by-broker migration process.

[NOTE]
====
The NodePool CRD is in beta. You must enable it with `crds.experimental: true` and the `--enable-v2-nodepools` operator flag.
