type

The type of the new access entry. Valid values are STANDARD, FARGATE_LINUX, EC2_LINUX, EC2_WINDOWS, EC2 (for EKS Auto Mode), HYBRID_LINUX, and HYPERPOD_LINUX.

If the principalArn is for an IAM role that's used for self-managed Amazon EC2 nodes, specify EC2_LINUX or EC2_WINDOWS. Amazon EKS grants the necessary permissions to the node for you. If the principalArn is for any other purpose, specify STANDARD. If you don't specify a value, Amazon EKS sets the value to STANDARD. If you have the access mode of the cluster set to API_AND_CONFIG_MAP, it's unnecessary to create access entries for IAM roles used with Fargate profiles or managed Amazon EC2 nodes, because Amazon EKS creates entries in the aws-auth``ConfigMap for the roles. You can't change this value once you've created the access entry.

If you set the value to EC2_LINUX or EC2_WINDOWS, you can't specify values for kubernetesGroups, or associate an AccessPolicy to the access entry.
