# AWS::EMRContainers::VirtualCluster
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster"></a>

The `AWS::EMRContainers::VirtualCluster` resource specifies a virtual cluster. A virtual cluster is a managed entity on Amazon EMR on EKS. You can create, describe, list, and delete virtual clusters. They do not consume any additional resources in your system. A single virtual cluster maps to a single Kubernetes namespace. Given this relationship, you can model virtual clusters the same way you model Kubernetes namespaces to meet your requirements.

## Syntax
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-syntax"></a>

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

### JSON
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-syntax.json"></a>

```
{
  "Type" : "AWS::EMRContainers::VirtualCluster",
  "Properties" : {
      "[ContainerProvider](#cfn-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-containerprovider)" : ContainerProvider,
      "[Name](#cfn-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-name)" : String,
      "[SecurityConfigurationId](#cfn-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-securityconfigurationid)" : String,
      "[Tags](#cfn-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-tags)" : [ Tag, ... ]
    }
}
```

## Return values
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-return-values"></a>

### Ref
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-return-values-ref"></a>

When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic `Ref` function, `Ref` returns the ID of the virtual cluster.

For more information about using the `Ref` function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-ref.html).

### Fn::GetAtt
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-return-values-fn--getatt"></a>

The `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.

For more information about using the `Fn::GetAtt` intrinsic function, see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/intrinsic-function-reference-getatt.html).

#### 
<a name="aws-resource-emrcontainers-virtualcluster-return-values-fn--getatt-fn--getatt"></a>

`Arn`  <a name="Arn-fn::getatt"></a>
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the project, such as `arn:aws:emr-containers:us-east-1:123456789012:/virtualclusters/ab4rp1abcs8xz47n3x0example`.

`Id`  <a name="Id-fn::getatt"></a>
