Description

Creates a virtual node within a service mesh. A virtual node acts as a logical pointer to a particular task group, such as an Amazon ECS service or a Kubernetes deployment. When you create a virtual node, you can specify the service discovery information for your task group. Any inbound traffic that your virtual node expects should be specified as a listener. Any outbound traffic that your virtual node expects to reach should be specified as a backend. The response metadata for your new virtual node contains the arn that is associated with the virtual node. Set this value (either the full ARN or the truncated resource name: for example, mesh/default/virtualNode/simpleapp) as the APPMESH_VIRTUAL_NODE_NAME environment variable for your task group's Envoy proxy container in your task definition or pod spec. This is then mapped to the node.id and node.cluster Envoy parameters. If you require your Envoy stats or tracing to use a different name, you can override the node.cluster value that is set by APPMESH_VIRTUAL_NODE_NAME with the APPMESH_VIRTUAL_NODE_CLUSTER environment variable.

Parameters

-AwsCloudMap_Attribute <AwsCloudMapInstanceAttribute[]>
A string map that contains attributes with values that you can use to filter instances by any custom attribute that you specified when you registered the instance. Only instances that match all of the specified key/value pairs will be returned.

Specifies the DNS service discovery hostname for the virtual node.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSpec_ServiceDiscovery_Dns_Hostname
-File_Path <String>
The file path to write access logs to. You can use /dev/stdout to send access logs to standard out and configure your Envoy container to use a log driver, such as awslogs, to export the access logs to a log storage service such as Amazon CloudWatch Logs. You can also specify a path in the Envoy container's file system to write the files to disk.The Envoy process must have write permissions to the path that you specify here. Otherwise, Envoy fails to bootstrap properly.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSpec_Logging_AccessLog_File_Path
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MeshName <String>
The name of the service mesh to create the virtual node in.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the VirtualNodeName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^VirtualNodeName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'VirtualNode'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.AppMesh.Model.CreateVirtualNodeResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.AppMesh.Model.CreateVirtualNodeResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Spec_Backend <Backend[]>
The backends that the virtual node is expected to send outbound traffic to.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSpec_Backends
-Spec_Listener <Listener[]>
The listeners that the virtual node is expected to receive inbound traffic from. You can specify one listener.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesSpec_Listeners
-Tag <TagRef[]>
Optional metadata that you can apply to the virtual node to assist with categorization and organization. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.
Required?False
Position?Named

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAK
-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile. Contains the network credentials to be supplied during authentication with the configured identity provider's endpoint. This parameter is not required if the user's default network identity can or should be used during authentication.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-ProfileLocation <String>
Used to specify the name and location of the ini-format credential file (shared with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs)If this optional parameter is omitted this cmdlet will search the encrypted credential file used by the AWS SDK for .NET and AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio first. If the profile is not found then the cmdlet will search in the ini-format credential file at the default location: (user's home directory)\.aws\credentials.If this parameter is specified then this cmdlet will only search the ini-format credential file at the location given.As the current folder can vary in a shell or during script execution it is advised that you use specify a fully qualified path instead of a relative path.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesAWSProfilesLocation, ProfilesLocation
-ProfileName <String>
The user-defined name of an AWS credentials or SAML-based role profile containing credential information.

You can also specify the name of a profile stored in the .ini-format credential file used with the AWS CLI and other AWS SDKs.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesStoredCredentials, AWSProfileName
-Region <Object>
The system name of an AWS region or an AWSRegion instance. This governs the endpoint that will be used when calling service operations. Note that the AWS resources referenced in a call are usually region-specific.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesRegionToCall
-SecretKey <String>
The AWS secret key for the user account. This can be a temporary secret key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.
