Policy: AWS > EKS > Node Group > Allowed > Instance Type

Determine the action to take when an AWS EKS node group uses an instance type that is not allowed.

The Allowed > Instance Type control checks if the node group uses an allowed instance type based on the Allowed > Instance Type > * policies. If the node group uses an instance type that is not in the allowed list, the control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.

For any enforcement actions that specify if new, e.g., Enforce: Delete if instance type not allowed and resource is new, the control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.
