I might _attempt_ to write a blog about all the different things that causes Kubernetes evicts pods. There are so many, and every single one works differently.

Don't forget to document all the reasons it *won't* evict pods even when you want it to...

can you elaborate this a bit? are you referring to when the node is down?

No, for example if you have a temp volume mounted for some shared (ephemeral) state between pods, it thinks the pod isn't safe to remove ever. You have to add the 'cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict: "true"' annotation.
