Associated to Nodegroups created via eksctl
by jinko-gitops
.
Value is the unique ID used to identify a Nodegroup created via eksctl
by jinko-gitops
. This differs from the name of the nodegroup which is the ID followed by Nodegroup spec hash, for example a Nodegroup named jinko-dev-core-dc4647ab6c2e96d858c5854cadbfe946
has ID jinko-dev-core
and hash dc4647ab6c2e96d858c5854cadbfe946
When updating a Nodegroup with a different spec, we cannot retrieve the previous Nodegroup by its name because its hash is unknown, so we use this tag to retrieve nodegroups associated to this ID.
