A container that can be run with EKS orchestration on EC2 resources.
import { EksContainerDefinition } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-batch';Or use the module namespace:
import * as batch from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-batch';
// batch.EksContainerDefinitionConfiguration passed to the constructor as EksContainerDefinitionProps.
imageRequiredContainerImageThe image that this container will run.
argsOptionalstring[]An array of arguments to the entrypoint. If this isn't specified, the CMD of the container image is used. This corresponds to the args member in the Entrypoint portion of the Pod in Kubernetes. Environment variable references are expanded using the container's environment. If the referenced environment variable doesn't exist, the reference in the command isn't changed. For example, if the reference is to "$(NAME1)" and the NAME1 environment variable doesn't exist, the command string will remain "$(NAME1)." $$ is replaced with $, and the resulting string isn't expanded. or example, $$(VAR_NAME) is passed as $(VAR_NAME) whether or not the VAR_NAME environment variable exists.
Default: - no args
commandOptionalstring[]The entrypoint for the container. This isn't run within a shell. If this isn't specified, the `ENTRYPOINT` of the container image is used. Environment variable references are expanded using the container's environment. If the referenced environment variable doesn't exist, the reference in the command isn't changed. For example, if the reference is to `"$(NAME1)"` and the `NAME1` environment variable doesn't exist, the command string will remain `"$(NAME1)."` `$$` is replaced with `$` and the resulting string isn't expanded. For example, `$$(VAR_NAME)` will be passed as `$(VAR_NAME)` whether or not the `VAR_NAME` environment variable exists. The entrypoint can't be updated.
Default: - no command
cpuLimitOptionalnumberThe hard limit of CPUs to present to this container. Must be an even multiple of 0.25. If your container attempts to exceed this limit, it will be terminated. At least one of `cpuReservation` and `cpuLimit` is required. If both are specified, then `cpuLimit` must be at least as large as `cpuReservation`.
Default: - No CPU limit
cpuReservationOptionalnumberThe soft limit of CPUs to reserve for the container Must be an even multiple of 0.25. The container will given at least this many CPUs, but may consume more. At least one of `cpuReservation` and `cpuLimit` is required. If both are specified, then `cpuLimit` must be at least as large as `cpuReservation`.
Default: - No CPUs reserved
envOptional{ [key: string]: string }The environment variables to pass to this container. *Note*: Environment variables cannot start with "AWS_BATCH". This naming convention is reserved for variables that AWS Batch sets.
Default: - no environment variables
gpuLimitOptionalnumberThe hard limit of GPUs to present to this container. If your container attempts to exceed this limit, it will be terminated. If both `gpuReservation` and `gpuLimit` are specified, then `gpuLimit` must be equal to `gpuReservation`.
Default: - No GPU limit
gpuReservationOptionalnumberThe soft limit of CPUs to reserve for the container Must be an even multiple of 0.25. The container will given at least this many CPUs, but may consume more. If both `gpuReservation` and `gpuLimit` are specified, then `gpuLimit` must be equal to `gpuReservation`.
Default: - No GPUs reserved
imagePullPolicyOptionalImagePullPolicyThe image pull policy for this container.
Default: - `ALWAYS` if the `:latest` tag is specified, `IF_NOT_PRESENT` otherwise
memoryLimitOptionalSizeThe amount (in MiB) of memory to present to the container. If your container attempts to exceed the allocated memory, it will be terminated. Must be larger that 4 MiB At least one of `memoryLimit` and `memoryReservation` is required *Note*: To maximize your resource utilization, provide your jobs with as much memory as possible for the specific instance type that you are using.
Default: - No memory limit
memoryReservationOptionalSizeThe soft limit (in MiB) of memory to reserve for the container. Your container will be given at least this much memory, but may consume more. Must be larger that 4 MiB When system memory is under heavy contention, Docker attempts to keep the container memory to this soft limit. However, your container can consume more memory when it needs to, up to either the hard limit specified with the memory parameter (if applicable), or all of the available memory on the container instance, whichever comes first. At least one of `memoryLimit` and `memoryReservation` is required. If both are specified, then `memoryLimit` must be equal to `memoryReservation` *Note*: To maximize your resource utilization, provide your jobs with as much memory as possible for the specific instance type that you are using.
Default: - No memory reserved
nameOptionalstringThe name of this container.
Default: : `'Default'`
privilegedOptionalbooleanIf specified, gives this container elevated permissions on the host container instance. The level of permissions are similar to the root user permissions. This parameter maps to `privileged` policy in the Privileged pod security policies in the Kubernetes documentation. *Note*: this is only compatible with Kubernetes < v1.25
Default: false
readonlyRootFilesystemOptionalbooleanIf specified, gives this container readonly access to its root file system. This parameter maps to `ReadOnlyRootFilesystem` policy in the Volumes and file systems pod security policies in the Kubernetes documentation. *Note*: this is only compatible with Kubernetes < v1.25
Default: false
runAsGroupOptionalnumberIf specified, the container is run as the specified group ID (`gid`). If this parameter isn't specified, the default is the group that's specified in the image metadata. This parameter maps to `RunAsGroup` and `MustRunAs` policy in the Users and groups pod security policies in the Kubernetes documentation. *Note*: this is only compatible with Kubernetes < v1.25
Default: none
runAsRootOptionalbooleanIf specified, the container is run as a user with a `uid` other than 0. Otherwise, no such rule is enforced. This parameter maps to `RunAsUser` and `MustRunAsNonRoot` policy in the Users and groups pod security policies in the Kubernetes documentation. *Note*: this is only compatible with Kubernetes < v1.25
Default: - the container is *not* required to run as a non-root user
runAsUserOptionalnumberIf specified, this container is run as the specified user ID (`uid`). This parameter maps to `RunAsUser` and `MustRunAs` policy in the Users and groups pod security policies in the Kubernetes documentation. *Note*: this is only compatible with Kubernetes < v1.25
Default: - the user that is specified in the image metadata.
volumesOptionalEksVolume[]The Volumes to mount to this container. Automatically added to the Pod.
Default: - no volumes
