add node into node group

Question

Hi Folks,
IHAC, They are focus on HPC and using NVME SSD for High disk performance.
they need to add node into node group on EKS, and get the node specification. Then they will submit the following pods to the same node to use the same NVME SSD.
Does EKS has API or other methods to add the node into node group, and get the related node info?
Many thanks,

Answer

Since nodes in a node group inherit the labels and taints, it would be better to create a separate node group for the HPC/SSD requirement

HPC / NVMe SSD Pods can then be scheduled on these nodes using appropriate node selector / tolerations and the regular pods could be scheduled as usual on the existing node group

Ref: [k8S Doc](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/scheduling-eviction/taint-and-toleration/) & [AWS Doc](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/node-taints-managed-node-groups.html)
