NatInstanceProps

class aws_cdk.aws_ec2.NatInstanceProps(*, instance_type, default_allowed_traffic=None, key_name=None, machine_image=None, security_group=None)

Bases: object

Properties for a NAT instance.

Parameters:
  • instance_type (InstanceType) – Instance type of the NAT instance.

  • default_allowed_traffic (Optional[NatTrafficDirection]) – Direction to allow all traffic through the NAT instance by default. By default, inbound and outbound traffic is allowed. If you set this to another value than INBOUND_AND_OUTBOUND, you must configure the NAT instance’s security groups in another way, either by passing in a fully configured Security Group using the securityGroup property, or by configuring it using the .securityGroup or .connections members after passing the NAT Instance Provider to a Vpc. Default: NatTrafficDirection.INBOUND_AND_OUTBOUND

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

  • machine_image (Optional[IMachineImage]) – The machine image (AMI) to use. By default, will do an AMI lookup for the latest NAT instance image. If you have a specific AMI ID you want to use, pass a GenericLinuxImage. For example:: ec2.NatProvider.instance({ instanceType: new ec2.InstanceType(‘t3.micro’), machineImage: new ec2.GenericLinuxImage({ ‘us-east-2’: ‘ami-0f9c61b5a562a16af’ }) }) Default: - Latest NAT instance image

  • security_group (Optional[ISecurityGroup]) – Security Group for NAT instances. Default: - A new security group will be created

ExampleMetadata:

lit=aws-ec2/test/integ.nat-instances.lit.ts infused

Example:

# Configure the `natGatewayProvider` when defining a Vpc
nat_gateway_provider = ec2.NatProvider.instance(
    instance_type=ec2.InstanceType("t3.small")
)

vpc = ec2.Vpc(self, "MyVpc",
    nat_gateway_provider=nat_gateway_provider,

    # The 'natGateways' parameter now controls the number of NAT instances
    nat_gateways=2
)

Attributes

default_allowed_traffic

Direction to allow all traffic through the NAT instance by default.

By default, inbound and outbound traffic is allowed.

If you set this to another value than INBOUND_AND_OUTBOUND, you must configure the NAT instance’s security groups in another way, either by passing in a fully configured Security Group using the securityGroup property, or by configuring it using the .securityGroup or .connections members after passing the NAT Instance Provider to a Vpc.

Default:

NatTrafficDirection.INBOUND_AND_OUTBOUND

instance_type

Instance type of the NAT instance.

key_name

Name of SSH keypair to grant access to instance.

Default:
  • No SSH access will be possible.

machine_image

The machine image (AMI) to use.

By default, will do an AMI lookup for the latest NAT instance image.

If you have a specific AMI ID you want to use, pass a GenericLinuxImage. For example:

ec2.NatProvider.instance(
    instance_type=ec2.InstanceType("t3.micro"),
    machine_image=ec2.GenericLinuxImage({
        "us-east-2": "ami-0f9c61b5a562a16af"
    })
)
Default:
  • Latest NAT instance image

security_group

Security Group for NAT instances.

Default:
  • A new security group will be created
