AgentPool interface

Agent Pool.

Extends

Properties

availabilityZones

The list of Availability zones to use for nodes. This can only be specified if the AgentPoolType property is 'VirtualMachineScaleSets'.

capacityReservationGroupID

AKS will associate the specified agent pool with the Capacity Reservation Group.

count

Number of agents (VMs) to host docker containers. Allowed values must be in the range of 0 to 1000 (inclusive) for user pools and in the range of 1 to 1000 (inclusive) for system pools. The default value is 1.

creationData

CreationData to be used to specify the source Snapshot ID if the node pool will be created/upgraded using a snapshot.

currentOrchestratorVersion

If orchestratorVersion is a fully specified version <major.minor.patch>, this field will be exactly equal to it. If orchestratorVersion is <major.minor>, this field will contain the full <major.minor.patch> version being used. NOTE: This property will not be serialized. It can only be populated by the server.

enableAutoScaling

Whether to enable auto-scaler

enableEncryptionAtHost

This is only supported on certain VM sizes and in certain Azure regions. For more information, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/enable-host-encryption

enableFips

See Add a FIPS-enabled node pool for more details.

enableNodePublicIP

Some scenarios may require nodes in a node pool to receive their own dedicated public IP addresses. A common scenario is for gaming workloads, where a console needs to make a direct connection to a cloud virtual machine to minimize hops. For more information see assigning a public IP per node. The default is false.

enableUltraSSD

Whether to enable UltraSSD

gpuInstanceProfile

GPUInstanceProfile to be used to specify GPU MIG instance profile for supported GPU VM SKU.

hostGroupID

This is of the form: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/hostGroups/{hostGroupName}. For more information see Azure dedicated hosts.

kubeletConfig

The Kubelet configuration on the agent pool nodes.

kubeletDiskType

Determines the placement of emptyDir volumes, container runtime data root, and Kubelet ephemeral storage.

linuxOSConfig

The OS configuration of Linux agent nodes.

maxCount

The maximum number of nodes for auto-scaling

maxPods

The maximum number of pods that can run on a node.

minCount

The minimum number of nodes for auto-scaling

mode

A cluster must have at least one 'System' Agent Pool at all times. For additional information on agent pool restrictions and best practices, see: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/aks/use-system-pools

networkProfile

Network-related settings of an agent pool.

nodeImageVersion

The version of node image NOTE: This property will not be serialized. It can only be populated by the server.

nodeLabels

The node labels to be persisted across all nodes in agent pool.

nodePublicIPPrefixID

This is of the form: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPPrefixes/{publicIPPrefixName}

nodeTaints

The taints added to new nodes during node pool create and scale. For example, key=value:NoSchedule.

orchestratorVersion

Both patch version <major.minor.patch> (e.g. 1.20.13) and <major.minor> (e.g. 1.20) are supported. When <major.minor> is specified, the latest supported GA patch version is chosen automatically. Updating the cluster with the same <major.minor> once it has been created (e.g. 1.14.x -> 1.14) will not trigger an upgrade, even if a newer patch version is available. As a best practice, you should upgrade all node pools in an AKS cluster to the same Kubernetes version. The node pool version must have the same major version as the control plane. The node pool minor version must be within two minor versions of the control plane version. The node pool version cannot be greater than the control plane version. For more information see upgrading a node pool.

osDiskSizeGB

OS Disk Size in GB to be used to specify the disk size for every machine in the master/agent pool. If you specify 0, it will apply the default osDisk size according to the vmSize specified.

osDiskType

The default is 'Ephemeral' if the VM supports it and has a cache disk larger than the requested OSDiskSizeGB. Otherwise, defaults to 'Managed'. May not be changed after creation. For more information see Ephemeral OS.

osSKU

Specifies the OS SKU used by the agent pool. The default is Ubuntu if OSType is Linux. The default is Windows2019 when Kubernetes <= 1.24 or Windows2022 when Kubernetes >= 1.25 if OSType is Windows.

osType

The operating system type. The default is Linux.

podSubnetID

If omitted, pod IPs are statically assigned on the node subnet (see vnetSubnetID for more details). This is of the form: /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/{virtualNetworkName}/subnets/{subnetName}

powerState

When an Agent Pool is first created it is initially Running. The Agent Pool can be stopped by setting this field to Stopped. A stopped Agent Pool stops all of its VMs and does not accrue billing charges. An Agent Pool can only be stopped if it is Running and provisioning state is Succeeded

provisioningState

The current deployment or provisioning state. NOTE: This property will not be serialized. It can only be populated by the server.

proximityPlacementGroupID

The ID for Proximity Placement Group.

scaleDownMode
