**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `IamRoleArn`**Description**: A valid Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies an IAM role. At runtime, DAX will assume this role and use the role's permissions to access DynamoDB on your behalf.

## `node_ids_to_remove`{% #node_ids_to_remove %}

**Type**: `UNORDERED_LIST_STRING`**Provider name**: `NodeIdsToRemove`**Description**: A list of nodes to be removed from the cluster.

## `node_type`{% #node_type %}

- `endpoint`**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `Endpoint`**Description**: The endpoint for the node, consisting of a DNS name and a port number. Client applications can connect directly to a node endpoint, if desired (as an alternative to allowing DAX client software to intelligently route requests and responses to nodes in the DAX cluster.
  - `address`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `Address`**Description**: The DNS hostname of the endpoint.
  - `port`**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `Port`**Description**: The port number that applications should use to connect to the endpoint.

- `node_status`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `NodeStatus`**Description**: The current status of the node. For example: `available`.
- `parameter_group_status`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `ParameterGroupStatus`**Description**: The status of the parameter group associated with this node. For example, `in-sync`.
