Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • nodegroup (dict) –

      The full description of your node group.

      • nodegroupName (string) –

        The name associated with an Amazon EKS managed node group.

      • nodegroupArn (string) –

        The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) associated with the managed node group.

      • clusterName (string) –

        The name of your cluster.

      • version (string) –

        The Kubernetes version of the managed node group.

      • releaseVersion (string) –

        If the node group was deployed using a launch template with a custom AMI, then this is the AMI ID that was specified in the launch template. For node groups that weren’t deployed using a launch template, this is the version of the Amazon EKS optimized AMI that the node group was deployed with.

      • createdAt (datetime) –

        The Unix epoch timestamp at object creation.

      • modifiedAt (datetime) –

        The Unix epoch timestamp for the last modification to the object.

      • status (string) –

        The current status of the managed node group.

      • capacityType (string) –

        The capacity type of your managed node group.

      • scalingConfig (dict) –

        The scaling configuration details for the Auto Scaling group that is associated with your node group.

        • minSize (integer) –

          The minimum number of nodes that the managed node group can scale in to.

        • maxSize (integer) –

          The maximum number of nodes that the managed node group can scale out to. For information about the maximum number that you can specify, see Amazon EKS service quotas in the Amazon EKS User Guide.

        • desiredSize (integer) –

          The current number of nodes that the managed node group should maintain.

          Warning

          If you use the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler, you shouldn’t change the desiredSize value directly, as this can cause the Cluster Autoscaler to suddenly scale up or scale down.

          Whenever this parameter changes, the number of worker nodes in the node group is updated to the specified size. If this parameter is given a value that is smaller than the current number of running worker nodes, the necessary number of worker nodes are terminated to match the given value. When using CloudFormation, no action occurs if you remove this parameter from your CFN template.

          This parameter can be different from minSize in some cases, such as when starting with extra hosts for testing. This parameter can also be different when you want to start with an estimated number of needed hosts, but let the Cluster Autoscaler reduce the number if there are too many. When the Cluster Autoscaler is used, the desiredSize parameter is altered by the Cluster Autoscaler (but can be out-of-date for short periods of time). the Cluster Autoscaler doesn’t scale a managed node group lower than minSize or higher than maxSize.

      • instanceTypes (list) –

        If the node group wasn’t deployed with a launch template, then this is the instance type that is associated with the node group. If the node group was deployed with a launch template, then this is null.

      • subnets (list) –

        The subnets that were specified for the Auto Scaling group that is associated with your node group.

      • remoteAccess (dict) –

        If the node group wasn’t deployed with a launch template, then this is the remote access configuration that is associated with the node group. If the node group was deployed with a launch template, then this is null.

        • ec2SshKey (string) –

          The Amazon EC2 SSH key name that provides access for SSH communication with the nodes in the managed node group. For more information, see Amazon EC2 key pairs and Linux instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide for Linux Instances. For Windows, an Amazon EC2 SSH key is used to obtain the RDP password.

        • sourceSecurityGroups (list) –

          The security group IDs that are allowed SSH access (port 22) to the nodes. For Windows, the port is 3389. If you specify an Amazon EC2 SSH key but don’t specify a source security group when you create a managed node group, then the port on the nodes is opened to the internet ( 0.0.0.0/0). For more information, see Security Groups for Your VPC in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

              • AutoScalingGroupNotFound: We couldn’t find the Auto Scaling group associated with the managed node group. You may be able to recreate an Auto Scaling group with the same settings to recover.

              • ClusterUnreachable: Amazon EKS or one or more of your managed nodes is unable to to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster API server. This can happen if there are network disruptions or if API servers are timing out processing requests.

              • Ec2InstanceTypeDoesNotExist: One or more of the supplied Amazon EC2 instance types do not exist. Amazon EKS checked for the instance types that you provided in this Amazon Web Services Region, and one or more aren’t available.

              • Ec2LaunchTemplateNotFound: We couldn’t find the Amazon EC2 launch template for your managed node group. You may be able to recreate a launch template with the same settings to recover.

              • Ec2LaunchTemplateVersionMismatch: The Amazon EC2 launch template version for your managed node group does not match the version that Amazon EKS created. You may be able to revert to the version that Amazon EKS created to recover.

              • Ec2SecurityGroupDeletionFailure: We could not delete the remote access security group for your managed node group. Remove any dependencies from the security group.

              • Ec2SecurityGroupNotFound: We couldn’t find the cluster security group for the cluster. You must recreate your cluster.

              • Ec2SubnetInvalidConfiguration: One or more Amazon EC2 subnets specified for a node group do not automatically assign public IP addresses to instances launched into it. If you want your instances to be assigned a public IP address, then you need to enable the auto-assign public IP address setting for the subnet. See Modifying the public IPv4 addressing attribute for your subnet in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

              • IamInstanceProfileNotFound: We couldn’t find the IAM instance profile for your managed node group. You may be able to recreate an instance profile with the same settings to recover.

              • IamNodeRoleNotFound: We couldn’t find the IAM role for your managed node group. You may be able to recreate an IAM role with the same settings to recover.

              • InstanceLimitExceeded: Your Amazon Web Services account is unable to launch any more instances of the specified instance type. You may be able to request an Amazon EC2 instance limit increase to recover.

              • InsufficientFreeAddresses: One or more of the subnets associated with your managed node group does not have enough available IP addresses for new nodes.

              • InternalFailure: These errors are usually caused by an Amazon EKS server-side issue.
