Construct Props ​

The AMI type for your node group.

Default: auto-determined from the instanceTypes property when launchTemplateSpec property is not specified

If you explicitly specify the launchTemplate with custom AMI, do not specify this property, or the node group deployment will fail. In other cases, you will need to specify correct amiType for the nodegroup.

capacityTypeCapacityTypecapacity_typeCapacityTypecapacityTypeCapacityTypeCapacityTypeCapacityTypeCapacityTypeCapacityType= ON_DEMAND#
The capacity type of the nodegroup.
clusterIClusterclusterIClusterclusterIClusterClusterIClusterClusterIClusterrequired#
Cluster resource.
desiredSizenumberdesired_sizeint | floatdesiredSizeNumberDesiredSizedoubleDesiredSize*float64= 2#
The current number of worker nodes that the managed node group should maintain.

If not specified, the nodewgroup will initially create minSize instances.

diskSizenumberdisk_sizeint | floatdiskSizeNumberDiskSizedoubleDiskSize*float64= 20#
The root device disk size (in GiB) for your node group instances.
enableNodeAutoRepairbooleanenable_node_auto_repairboolenableNodeAutoRepairBooleanEnableNodeAutoRepairboolEnableNodeAutoRepair*bool= disabled#
Specifies whether to enable node auto repair for the node group.

Node auto repair is disabled by default.

forceUpdatebooleanforce_updateboolforceUpdateBooleanForceUpdateboolForceUpdate*bool= true#
Force the update if the existing node group's pods are unable to be drained due to a pod disruption budget issue.

If an update fails because pods could not be drained, you can force the update after it fails to terminate the old node whether or not any pods are running on the node.

instanceTypesInstanceType[]instance_typestyping.List[InstanceType]instanceTypesList<InstanceType>InstanceTypesInstanceType[]InstanceTypes*[]InstanceType#
The instance types to use for your node group.

Default: t3.medium will be used according to the cloudformation document.

labels{ [key: string]: string }labelstyping.Mapping[str, str]labelsMap<String, String>LabelsIDictionary<string, string>Labels*map[string]*string= None#
The Kubernetes labels to be applied to the nodes in the node group when they are created.
launchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpeclaunch_template_specLaunchTemplateSpeclaunchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpecLaunchTemplateSpec#
Launch template specification used for the nodegroup.

Default: no launch template

maxSizenumbermax_sizeint | floatmaxSizeNumberMaxSizedoubleMaxSize*float64= desiredSize#
The maximum number of worker nodes that the managed node group can scale out to.

Managed node groups can support up to 100 nodes by default.

maxUnavailablenumbermax_unavailableint | floatmaxUnavailableNumberMaxUnavailabledoubleMaxUnavailable*float64= 1#
The maximum number of nodes unavailable at once during a version update.

Nodes will be updated in parallel. The maximum number is 100.

This value or maxUnavailablePercentage is required to have a value for custom update configurations to be applied.

maxUnavailablePercentagenumbermax_unavailable_percentageint | floatmaxUnavailablePercentageNumberMaxUnavailablePercentagedoubleMaxUnavailablePercentage*float64#
The maximum percentage of nodes unavailable during a version update.

Default: undefined - node groups will update instances one at a time

This percentage of nodes will be updated in parallel, up to 100 nodes at once.

This value or maxUnavailable is required to have a value for custom update configurations to be applied.

minSizenumbermin_sizeint | floatminSizeNumberMinSizedoubleMinSize*float64= 1#
The minimum number of worker nodes that the managed node group can scale in to.

This number must be greater than or equal to zero.

nodegroupNamestringnodegroup_namestrnodegroupNameStringNodegroupNamestringNodegroupName*string#
Name of the Nodegroup.

Default: resource ID

nodeRoleIRolenode_roleIRolenodeRoleIRoleNodeRoleIRoleNodeRoleIRole#
The IAM role to associate with your node group.

Default: None. Auto-generated if not specified.

notes

The Amazon EKS worker node kubelet daemon makes calls to AWS APIs on your behalf. Worker nodes receive permissions for these API calls through an IAM instance profile and associated policies. Before you can launch worker nodes and register them into a cluster, you must create an IAM role for those worker nodes to use when they are launched.

releaseVersionstringrelease_versionstrreleaseVersionStringReleaseVersionstringReleaseVersion*string#
The AMI version of the Amazon EKS-optimized AMI to use with your node group (for example, `1.14.7-YYYYMMDD`).

Default: The latest available AMI version for the node group's current Kubernetes version is used.

remoteAccessNodegroupRemoteAccessremote_accessNodegroupRemoteAccessremoteAccessNodegroupRemoteAccessRemoteAccessNodegroupRemoteAccessRemoteAccessNodegroupRemoteAccess= disabled#
The remote access (SSH) configuration to use with your node group.

Disabled by default, however, if you specify an Amazon EC2 SSH key but do not specify a source security group when you create a managed node group, then port 22 on the worker nodes is opened to the internet (0.0.0.0/0)

removalPolicyRemovalPolicyremoval_policyRemovalPolicyremovalPolicyRemovalPolicyRemovalPolicyRemovalPolicyRemovalPolicyRemovalPolicy= RemovalPolicy.DESTROY#
The removal policy applied to the managed node group.
notes

The removal policy controls what happens to the resource if it stops being managed by CloudFormation. This can happen in one of three situations:

  • The resource is removed from the template, so CloudFormation stops managing it
  • A change to the resource is made that requires it to be replaced, so CloudFormation stops managing it
  • The stack is deleted, so CloudFormation stops managing all resources in it
The subnets to use for the Auto Scaling group that is created for your node group.

Default: private subnets

By specifying the SubnetSelection, the selected subnets will automatically apply required tags i.e. kubernetes.io/cluster/CLUSTER_NAME with a value of shared, where CLUSTER_NAME is replaced with the name of your cluster.

tags{ [key: string]: string }tagstyping.Mapping[str, str]tagsMap<String, String>TagsIDictionary<string, string>Tags*map[string]*string= None#
The metadata to apply to the node group to assist with categorization and organization.

Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Node group tags do not propagate to any other resources associated with the node group, such as the Amazon EC2 instances or subnets.

taintsTaintSpec[]taintstyping.List[TaintSpec]taintsList<TaintSpec>TaintsTaintSpec[]Taints*[]TaintSpec= None#
The Kubernetes taints to be applied to the nodes in the node group when they are created.

Properties ​

clusterIClusterclusterIClusterclusterIClusterClusterIClusterClusterIClusterrequired#
the Amazon EKS cluster resource.
The environment this resource belongs to.
notes

For resources that are created and managed in a Stack (those created by creating new class instances like new Role(), new Bucket(), etc.), this is always the same as the environment of the stack they belong to.

For referenced resources (those obtained from referencing methods like Role.fromRoleArn(), Bucket.fromBucketName(), etc.), they might be different than the stack they were imported into.

Methods ​

applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(strength: ReferenceStrength): voiddef apply_cross_stack_reference_strength(self, strength: ReferenceStrength) -> Nonepublic void applyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)public void ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(ReferenceStrength strength)func ApplyCrossStackReferenceStrength(Strength ReferenceStrength)#
Override the cross-stack reference strength for this resource.
notes · 1 parameter

When set, any cross-stack reference to this resource will use the specified mechanism instead of the global default determined by the @aws-cdk/core:defaultCrossStackReferences context key. This is useful for selectively weakening specific references to avoid the "deadly embrace" problem without changing the app-wide default.

Parameters

  • strengthstrengthstrengthstrengthStrength — - The reference strength to use for this resource.
applyRemovalPolicy(policy: RemovalPolicy): voiddef apply_removal_policy(self, policy: RemovalPolicy) -> Nonepublic void applyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)public void ApplyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy policy)func ApplyRemovalPolicy(Policy RemovalPolicy)#
Apply the given removal policy to this resource.
notes

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).

fromNodegroupName(scope: Construct, id: string, nodegroupName: string): INodegroup@staticmethod def from_nodegroup_name(scope: Construct, id: str, nodegroup_name: str) -> INodegrouppublic static INodegroup fromNodegroupName(Construct scope, String id, String nodegroupName)public static INodegroup FromNodegroupName(Construct scope, string id, string nodegroupName)func FromNodegroupName(Scope Construct, Id *string, NodegroupName *string) INodegroupstatic#
Import the Nodegroup from attributes.
isConstruct(x: any): boolean@staticmethod def is_construct(x: Any) -> boolpublic static Boolean isConstruct(Object x)public static bool IsConstruct(object x)func IsConstruct(X interface{}) *boolstatic#
Checks if `x` is a construct.
notes · 1 parameter · returns

Use this method instead of instanceof to properly detect Construct instances, even when the construct library is symlinked.

Explanation: in JavaScript, multiple copies of the constructs library on disk are seen as independent, completely different libraries. As a consequence, the class Construct in each copy of the constructs library is seen as a different class, and an instance of one class will not test as instanceof the other class. npm install will not create installations like this, but users may manually symlink construct libraries together or use a monorepo tool: in those cases, multiple copies of the constructs library can be accidentally installed, and instanceof will behave unpredictably. It is safest to avoid using instanceof, and using this type-testing method instead.

Parameters

  • xxxxX — Any object.

Returns: true if x is an object created from a class which extends Construct.

isOwnedResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_owned_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsOwnedResource(IConstruct construct)func IsOwnedResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Returns true if the construct was created by CDK, and false otherwise.
isResource(construct: IConstruct): boolean@staticmethod def is_resource(construct: IConstruct) -> boolpublic static Boolean isResource(IConstruct construct)public static bool IsResource(IConstruct construct)func IsResource(Construct IConstruct) *boolstatic#
Check whether the given construct is a Resource.
toString(): stringdef to_string(self, ) -> strpublic String toString()public string ToString()func ToString() *string#
Returns a string representation of this construct.
with(...mixins: IMixin[]): IConstructdef with(self, mixins: IMixin) -> IConstructpublic IConstruct with(IMixin mixins)public IConstruct With(IMixin mixins)func With(Mixins IMixin) IConstruct#
Applies one or more mixins to this construct.

Mixins are applied in order. The list of constructs is captured at the start of the call, so constructs added by a mixin will not be visited. Use multiple with() calls if subsequent mixins should apply to added constructs.
