Implements IConstruct, IDependable, IInspectable, ITaggable

Creates a managed node group for an Amazon EKS cluster.

You can only create a node group for your cluster that is equal to the current Kubernetes version for the cluster. All node groups are created with the latest AMI release version for the respective minor Kubernetes version of the cluster, unless you deploy a custom AMI using a launch template. For more information about using launch templates, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates .

An Amazon EKS managed node group is an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group and associated Amazon EC2 instances that are managed by AWS for an Amazon EKS cluster. For more information, see Managed node groups in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

Windows AMI types are only supported for commercial AWS Regions that support Windows on Amazon EKS.

clusterName

Type: string

The name of your cluster.

nodeRole

Type: string

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role to associate with your node group.

The Amazon EKS worker node kubelet daemon makes calls to AWS APIs on your behalf. Nodes receive permissions for these API calls through an IAM instance profile and associated policies. Before you can launch nodes and register them into a cluster, you must create an IAM role for those nodes to use when they are launched. For more information, see Amazon EKS node IAM role in the Amazon EKS User Guide . If you specify launchTemplate , then don't specify [IamInstanceProfile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_IamInstanceProfile.html) in your launch template, or the node group deployment will fail. For more information about using launch templates with Amazon EKS, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

subnets

Type: string[]

The subnets to use for the Auto Scaling group that is created for your node group.

If you specify launchTemplate , then don't specify [SubnetId](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_CreateNetworkInterface.html) in your launch template, or the node group deployment will fail. For more information about using launch templates with Amazon EKS, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

amiType?

Type: string (optional)

The AMI type for your node group.

If you specify launchTemplate , and your launch template uses a custom AMI, then don't specify amiType , or the node group deployment will fail. If your launch template uses a Windows custom AMI, then add eks:kube-proxy-windows to your Windows nodes rolearn in the aws-auth ConfigMap . For more information about using launch templates with Amazon EKS, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

capacityType?

Type: string (optional)

The capacity type of your managed node group.

diskSize?

Type: number (optional)

The root device disk size (in GiB) for your node group instances.

The default disk size is 20 GiB for Linux and Bottlerocket. The default disk size is 50 GiB for Windows. If you specify launchTemplate , then don't specify diskSize , or the node group deployment will fail. For more information about using launch templates with Amazon EKS, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

forceUpdateEnabled?

Type: boolean | IResolvable (optional, default: false)

Force the update if any Pod on the existing node group can't be drained due to a Pod disruption budget issue.

If an update fails because all Pods can't be drained, you can force the update after it fails to terminate the old node whether or not any Pod is running on the node.

instanceTypes?

Type: string[] (optional)

Specify the instance types for a node group.

If you specify a GPU instance type, make sure to also specify an applicable GPU AMI type with the amiType parameter. If you specify launchTemplate , then you can specify zero or one instance type in your launch template or you can specify 0-20 instance types for instanceTypes . If however, you specify an instance type in your launch template and specify any instanceTypes , the node group deployment will fail. If you don't specify an instance type in a launch template or for instanceTypes , then t3.medium is used, by default. If you specify Spot for capacityType , then we recommend specifying multiple values for instanceTypes . For more information, see Managed node group capacity types and Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

labels?

Type: IResolvable | { [string]: string } (optional)

The Kubernetes labels applied to the nodes in the node group.

Only labels that are applied with the Amazon EKS API are shown here. There may be other Kubernetes labels applied to the nodes in this group.

launchTemplate?

Type: IResolvable | LaunchTemplateSpecificationProperty (optional)

An object representing a node group's launch template specification.

When using this object, don't directly specify instanceTypes , diskSize , or remoteAccess . Make sure that the launch template meets the requirements in launchTemplateSpecification . Also refer to Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

By default, the latest available AMI version for the node group's current Kubernetes version is used. For more information, see Amazon EKS optimized Linux AMI Versions in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

Changing this value triggers an update of the node group if one is available. You can't update other properties at the same time as updating Release Version .

remoteAccess?

Type: IResolvable | RemoteAccessProperty (optional)

The remote access configuration to use with your node group.

For Linux, the protocol is SSH. For Windows, the protocol is RDP. If you specify launchTemplate , then don't specify remoteAccess , or the node group deployment will fail. For more information about using launch templates with Amazon EKS, see Customizing managed nodes with launch templates in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

scalingConfig?

Type: IResolvable | ScalingConfigProperty (optional)

The scaling configuration details for the Auto Scaling group that is created for your node group.

The Kubernetes taints to be applied to the nodes in the node group when they are created.

Effect is one of No_Schedule , Prefer_No_Schedule , or No_Execute . Kubernetes taints can be used together with tolerations to control how workloads are scheduled to your nodes. For more information, see Node taints on managed node groups .

updateConfig?

Type: IResolvable | UpdateConfigProperty (optional)

The node group update configuration.

version?

Type: string (optional)

The Kubernetes version to use for your managed nodes.

addDeletionOverride(path)

public addDeletionOverride(path: string): void

Parameters

path string — The path of the value to delete.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

addDependency(target)

public addDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

addDependsOn(target)⚠️

public addDependsOn(target: CfnResource): void

⚠️ Deprecated: use addDependency

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

addMetadata(key, value)

public addMetadata(key: string, value: any): void

Parameters

key string
value any

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

addOverride(path, value)

public addOverride(path: string, value: any): void

Parameters

path string — - The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types.
value any — - The value.

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with "Properties." (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example,

cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes', ['myattribute']);
cfnResource.addOverride('Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType', 'INCLUDE');

would add the overrides

"Properties": {
  "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
    {
      "Projection": {
        "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
        ...
      }
      ...
    },
    {
      "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
      ...
    },
  ]
  ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath)

public addPropertyDeletionOverride(propertyPath: string): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path to the property.

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

addPropertyOverride(propertyPath, value)

public addPropertyOverride(propertyPath: string, value: any): void

Parameters

propertyPath string — The path of the property.
value any — The value.

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

applyRemovalPolicy(policy?, options?)

public applyRemovalPolicy(policy?: RemovalPolicy, options?: RemovalPolicyOptions): void

Parameters

policy RemovalPolicy
options RemovalPolicyOptions

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you've removed it from the CDK application or because you've made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN). In some cases, a snapshot can be taken of the resource prior to deletion (RemovalPolicy.SNAPSHOT). A list of resources that support this policy can be found in the following link:

getAtt(attributeName, typeHint?)

public getAtt(attributeName: string, typeHint?: ResolutionTypeHint): Reference

Parameters

attributeName string — The name of the attribute.
typeHint ResolutionTypeHint

Returns

Reference

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

getMetadata(key)

public getMetadata(key: string): any

Parameters

key string

Returns

any

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.)

inspect(inspector)

public inspect(inspector: TreeInspector): void

Parameters

inspector TreeInspector — tree inspector to collect and process attributes.

Examines the CloudFormation resource and discloses attributes.

obtainDependencies()

public obtainDependencies(): Stack &#124; CfnResource[]

Returns

Stack | CfnResource[]

Retrieves an array of resources this resource depends on.

This assembles dependencies on resources across stacks (including nested stacks) automatically.

obtainResourceDependencies()

public obtainResourceDependencies(): CfnResource[]

Returns

CfnResource[]

Get a shallow copy of dependencies between this resource and other resources in the same stack.

overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId)

public overrideLogicalId(newLogicalId: string): void

Parameters

newLogicalId string — The new logical ID to use for this stack element.

Overrides the auto-generated logical ID with a specific ID.

removeDependency(target)

public removeDependency(target: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource

Indicates that this resource no longer depends on another resource.

This can be used for resources across stacks (including nested stacks) and the dependency will automatically be removed from the relevant scope.

replaceDependency(target, newTarget)

public replaceDependency(target: CfnResource, newTarget: CfnResource): void

Parameters

target CfnResource — The dependency to replace.
newTarget CfnResource — The new dependency to add.

Replaces one dependency with another.

toString()

public toString(): string
