AWSNodePool

As explained in Google Anthos in Action

AWSNodePool is a custom resource representing the configuration of a node pool in a GKE on AWS cluster.

AWSNodePool is a Kubernetes custom resource that defines a node pool for a GKE on AWS user cluster. The management service interprets its YAML and provisions corresponding AWS resources. section 5.2.2

Node pool configuration

A node pool names its cluster, selects a GKE version, and sets scaling bounds. For example, minNodeCount: 3 and maxNodeCount: 10 allow the pool to grow when more compute is required. section 5.2.2

How Google Anthos in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Defines the custom-resource role and YAML scaling fields, but does not detail instance-level provisioning internals.
Examples
Uses a YAML manifest with clusterName, version, minNodeCount, and maxNodeCount fields.
What it assumes
Assumes Kubernetes and cloud-cluster familiarity while establishing custom resources through the AWSCluster and AWSNodePool workflow.
What you can do after
Operate/configure node capacity by editing and applying the user-cluster YAML through the management service.
How it connects
Connects Kubernetes custom resources with AWSCluster, GKE on AWS, Terraform, and cluster scaling.
