Bases: object

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
init (Optional[CloudFormationInit]) – Apply the given CloudFormation Init configuration to the instance at startup. Default: - no CloudFormation init
init_options (Optional[ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions]) – Use the given options for applying CloudFormation Init. Describes the configsets to use and the timeout to wait Default: - default options
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.
user_data_causes_replacement (Optional[bool]) – Changes to the UserData force replacement. Depending the EC2 instance type, changing UserData either restarts the instance or replaces the instance. - Instance store-backed instances are replaced. - EBS-backed instances are restarted. By default, restarting does not execute the new UserData so you will need a different mechanism to ensure the instance is restarted. Setting this to true will make the instance’s Logical ID depend on the UserData, which will cause CloudFormation to replace it if the UserData changes. Default: - true iff initOptions is specified, false otherwise.
vpc_subnets (Optional[SubnetSelection]) – Where to place the instance within the VPC. Default: - Private subnets.

Attributes

allow_all_outbound¶

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
Return type: Optional[bool]

availability_zone¶

In which AZ to place the instance within the VPC.

Default

Random zone.

Return type

Optional[str]

block_devices¶

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

See

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/block-device-mapping-concepts.html

Return type

Optional[List[BlockDevice]]

init¶

Apply the given CloudFormation Init configuration to the instance at startup.

Default

no CloudFormation init

Return type

Optional[CloudFormationInit]

init_options¶

Use the given options for applying CloudFormation Init.

Describes the configsets to use and the timeout to wait

Default

default options

Return type

Optional[ApplyCloudFormationInitOptions]

instance_name¶

The name of the instance.

Default

CDK generated name

Return type

Optional[str]

instance_type¶

Type of instance to launch.

Return type: InstanceType

key_name¶

Name of SSH keypair to grant access to instance.

Default

No SSH access will be possible.

Return type

Optional[str]

machine_image¶

AMI to launch.

Return type: IMachineImage

private_ip_address¶

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

Return type

Optional[str]

resource_signal_timeout¶

The length of time to wait for the resourceSignalCount.

The maximum value is 43200 (12 hours).

Default: Duration.minutes(5)
Return type: Optional[Duration]

role¶

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

Example:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
role = iam.Role(self, "MyRole",
    assumed_by=iam.ServicePrincipal("ec2.amazonaws.com")
)

Return type: Optional[IRole]

security_group¶

Security Group to assign to this instance.

Default

create new security group

Return type

Optional[ISecurityGroup]

source_dest_check¶

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
Return type: Optional[bool]
