EC2 node groups that provide compute capacity for your EKS cluster.
Node Groups are managed groups of EC2 instances that provide compute capacity for the EKS cluster. Each node group defines the instance type, scaling configuration, and optional taints or labels applied to its nodes.
If your Cluster Baseline uses EKS Auto Mode, AWS manages compute capacity automatically and node groups are not required.
Name
The name of the node group
Instance Type
The EC2 instance type for the nodes (e.g. m5.large)
Minimum Nodes
Minimum number of nodes in the group
Desired Nodes
Target number of nodes
Maximum Nodes
Maximum number of nodes (for autoscaling)
Disk Size
Root volume size in GB
Taints
Optional Kubernetes taints applied to all nodes in this group
Labels
Optional Kubernetes labels applied to all nodes in this group
Node Groups require a Cluster Baseline.
