Properties of an EC2 Instance.

Parameters

  • instance_type (InstanceType) – Type of instance to launch.

  • machine_image (IMachineImage) – AMI to launch.

  • vpc (IVpc) – VPC to launch the instance in.

  • allow_all_outbound (Optional[bool]) – Whether the instance could initiate connections to anywhere by default. This property is only used when you do not provide a security group. Default: true

  • availability_zone (Optional[str]) – In which AZ to place the instance within the VPC. Default: - Random zone.

  • block_devices (Optional[List[BlockDevice]]) – Specifies how block devices are exposed to the instance. You can specify virtual devices and EBS volumes. Each instance that is launched has an associated root device volume, either an Amazon EBS volume or an instance store volume. You can use block device mappings to specify additional EBS volumes or instance store volumes to attach to an instance when it is launched. Default: - Uses the block device mapping of the AMI

  • instance_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the instance. Default: - CDK generated name

  • key_name (Optional[str]) – Name of SSH keypair to grant access to instance. Default: - No SSH access will be possible.

  • private_ip_address (Optional[str]) – Defines a private IP address to associate with an instance. Private IP should be available within the VPC that the instance is build within. Default: - no association

  • resource_signal_timeout (Optional[Duration]) – The length of time to wait for the resourceSignalCount. The maximum value is 43200 (12 hours). Default: Duration.minutes(5)

  • role (Optional[IRole]) – An IAM role to associate with the instance profile assigned to this Auto Scaling Group. The role must be assumable by the service principal ec2.amazonaws.com: Default: - A role will automatically be created, it can be accessed via the role property

  • security_group (Optional[ISecurityGroup]) – Security Group to assign to this instance. Default: - create new security group

  • source_dest_check (Optional[bool]) – Specifies whether to enable an instance launched in a VPC to perform NAT. This controls whether source/destination checking is enabled on the instance. A value of true means that checking is enabled, and false means that checking is disabled. The value must be false for the instance to perform NAT. Default: true

  • user_data (Optional[UserData]) – Specific UserData to use. The UserData may still be mutated after creation. Default: - A UserData object appropriate for the MachineImage’s Operating System is created.

  • vpc_subnets (Optional[SubnetSelection]) – Where to place the instance within the VPC. Default: - Private subnets.

Attributes
