 - We curl the `localhost` of our pod to tell it to drain. The pod will no 
 longer accept new session requests and will finish its current test. More
  information on this [can be found in the Selenium Grid documentation](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/grid/advanced_features/endpoints/#drain).
-- We then tail the internal node process that will continue to run until the node has been drained.
-- After this we give the pod 30 seconds to finish anything else before giving the full termination command.
+- Poll the Selenium node /status endpoint and wait until it becomes unavailable, indicating that the node has been fully drained and terminated.
