EKS Managed Node Group Module

Configuration in this directory creates an EKS Managed Node Group along with an IAM role, security group, and launch template

Usage

module "eks_managed_node_group" {
  source = "terraform-aws-modules/eks/aws//modules/eks-managed-node-group"

  name            = "separate-eks-mng"
  cluster_name    = "my-cluster"
  cluster_version = "1.31"

  subnet_ids = ["subnet-abcde012", "subnet-bcde012a", "subnet-fghi345a"]

  // The following variables are necessary if you decide to use the module outside of the parent EKS module context.
  // Without it, the security groups of the nodes are empty and thus won't join the cluster.
  cluster_primary_security_group_id = module.eks.cluster_primary_security_group_id
  vpc_security_group_ids            = [module.eks.node_security_group_id]

  // Note: `disk_size`, and `remote_access` can only be set when using the EKS managed node group default launch template
  // This module defaults to providing a custom launch template to allow for custom security groups, tag propagation, etc.
  // use_custom_launch_template = false
  // disk_size = 50
  //
  //  # Remote access cannot be specified with a launch template
  //  remote_access = {
  //    ec2_ssh_key               = module.key_pair.key_pair_name
  //    source_security_group_ids = [aws_security_group.remote_access.id]
  //  }
