What is the right way to create a nodegroup with

@pulumi/eks

? I created my first cluster using the

createNodeGroup

method. That worked, but I can't set

_ignoreChanges: [_"desiredCapacity"_]_

. I tried using the

new NodeGroup()

that takes the

pulumi.ComponentResourceOptions

where I can set ignoreChanges, but my pods can't resolve DNS. I also saw there are

createNodeGroup()

and

createManagedNodeGroup()

functions too. So, 2 questions: • Which is the recommended way? • Why when using

new NodeGroup()

that my pods in that nodegroup can't resolve DNS?

@breezy-hamburger-69619 any thoughts?

There are 2 methods to create node groups and it depends on whether you want to self-manage it [1], or have AWS manage it for you [2]. The trade-offs between the two that can be better understood by [3] and [4]. 1. Example - Self-managed: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/tree/master/nodejs/eks/examples/nodegroup 2. Example - AWS managed: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-eks/tree/master/nodejs/eks/examples/managed-nodegroups 3. https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/585 4. https://eksctl.io/usage/eks-managed-nodegroups#feature-parity-with-unmanaged-nodegroups
